First Check

• I used the GitHub search to find a similar requests and didn't find it.
• Checked the tasks tagged issues and verified my feature is not covered

Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.

Mealie supports recipe actions. I use them to build a bring integration that does not require the Mealie instance to be publicly accessible. The users of it (and myself would like that the amounts of foods should be changed accordingly to the number of servings specified in the UI, however this data is not sent in the POST request.

When the recipe actions were implemented I had a discussion with the one who introduced them but I can't find the conversation any more.

Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.

The amount of servings presented in the UI should be sent within in the POST request, either in the amounts themselves or as a separate field.
E.g.

• recipe contains 100 ml milk and amount of servings is set to 1: 100 ml milk or amount_of_servings=1
• recipe contains 100 ml milk and amount of servings is set to 2: 200 ml milk or 100 ml milk and amount_of_servings=2

Since the client sends out the POST request and not the server I guess it should not be that difficult to get the current chosen servings amount and send it as a separate field.

Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision

I guess there can't be any
