Import CSV to update recipes

Feature Request

I often export all my recipes to CSV, firstly there are some data points missing from the CSV such as Cookbook the recipe is in and tags. As the CSV has a unique ref for each recipe, it would make sense to be able to upload the CSV after amending some of the data. I often want to add tags in bulk, or change the serving amounts in bulk. This would be a very easy way to do this.

    Import to update

    As you can already export to a CSV it would be nice for the export to have a unique ID for each recipe, the key that would allow you to import a CSV back in with the same ID to update all your recipes in one go quickly. Would be a great time saver

      Hi @Rhiannon Burrell what fields are you trying to update in the CSV format? Maybe I can make it easier to edit these values in the app directly without having to export them.

      I tend to update a few different things at once when I import a recipe, the title if it's all upper or lower case I like it to show as capitalised. I put tags on, edit the number of portions so it works better to scale up and down. I might amend the quantities or directions to remove American cups etc. It takes me a long time to do this one by one. If I could just do it quickly on a spreadsheet it would be so much quicker
