Update to Ingredient Dropdown Menu

We are rolling out a redesigned ingredient dropdown menu on the Enter Recipe page to make it easier to navigate and use.

Previously, the dropdown menu could get too long—especially for users with access to a wide range of features—causing it to overflow off the screen. To address this, we’ve restructured the menu into a set of labeled submenus based on the type of action you want to perform.

What’s Changing?

When you access an ingredient’s dropdown menu, you’ll now see a shorter list of top-level options. Each of these leads to a submenu organized by related actions. This new structure makes it faster and more intuitive to find the operation you need.

New Menu Structure

The updated dropdown menu includes the following sections:

  • View Ingredient Details
  • Show ›
    • View Active Recipe Input Attributes
    • Show in Measurements
    • View in Sidepanel
  • Swap ›
    • Swap Ingredient
    • Swap with Similar Ingredient
    • Research Alternative Ingredients
  • Set/Scale ›
    • Set Lot
    • Set All To…
    • Fill To…
    • Scale Ingredient To…
    • Associate Placeholder
  • Category ›
    • Set Ingredient Category
  • Remove
