@michael-genson Would you be able to implement this as a followup to your comment in #3448? That would be great, thank you :)

[michael-genson]

Yeah I plan to tackle this at some point. Unfortunately it's not as trivial as exposing that as a merge field since our "yield" value is unstructured

[felixschndr]

Hey @michael-genson, any news on this? (Background #4489 and felixschndr/mealie-bring-api#15)

[michael-genson]

Now that #4489 is merged this should be rather easy. I should hopefully be able to it soon! Thanks for the reminder

FYI: #4952

Thank you very much. I didn't understand the difference between servings and yields yet. Can you point me to somewhere where this is explained please?

[michael-genson]

Servings are for how many people a recipe serves, whereas yield is for how much of something is made. Most recipes only use one or the other, but a good example would be something like meatballs: this recipe yields 24 meatballs, which serves 8 people.

[michael-genson]

For the purpose of Bring, you probably want servings

[felixschndr]

Thanks for the explanation, that helps a lot!
