This starts as more of a discussion but may be a feature request, I'm not sure. I may be thinking of this wrong but I'll try to outline my thought process.
As an example: I have a recipe that makes 12 cupcakes.
Would you set the "servings" to 1, or 12?
What about Yield, for both instances?
If the serving is 1, but yield is 12, double the serving results in 24 cupcakes instead of 12, which makes sense.
But, a "serving" doesn't make sense in this case, since it doesn't serve "1" and I instead care more about the Yield than servings.
If I do it the other way (12 servings, 1 yield - everyone gets one cupcake) then it won't scale properly since it would do 13 cupcakes, 14, etc. And it that just looks wrong.
I'm sure I could play around with servings vs yield on a per recipe basis, but I was thinking maybe it makes sense to be able to disable one and leave the other enabled along with having a scale factor, per recipe.
If I disable servings, but leave the yield at 12 cupcakes, I would want to be able to scale (by a factor of 2, in this case) both up and down. So I could make 3,6,12,24, etc.
This would definitely be a more advanced feature since I would ideally want the scaling factor to be customizable per recipe. A cupcake recipe makes sense to scale by 2, whereas a pizza dough recipe needs to increment by 1 (2 dough balls, 3, r) and likely wouldn't go negative. (Is that another request? Don't allow to scale below 1?)
It "works" with messing with servings vs field, but it displays oddly.
(serves 12 , yields 1 cupcake) which then doesn't scale how I'd expect.
Perhaps this just a mad rambling, but hopefully it makes sense.
