I have made quite a few recipes and I often change recipes over time. What I typically do is add the date in the form 2021-01-09 to differentiate them. But it is getting more tedious to find certain recipes when logging foods so I would like to delete the old versions of recipes but my question is, if I delete a recipe that I had entered into a food log in the past (last week or last year, whatever) will that remove it from the food log for that day? I don't like the idea of that happening but if a recipe will stay in the log even if I delete the recipe then I'll go ahead and delete some.
Thanks,
Don

You could test it to be on safe side, create a new recipe, log it and then delete the recipe from the app and see if it's still logged.
I didn't realise that - useful to know, a lot of my stews/curries are more or less the same base ingredients
It's a relatively new option; I don't know about on the app but it's definitely on the website version. It's very useful. Just be aware it's a bit temperamental with saving. I select Copy, change the name to what I want the new recipe to be called then click Save. Then Edit the new recipe and change my ingredients as needed. If I change the quantity of all the ingredients as appropriate and try to change the name at the same time it doesn't always work very well.
No mine are all still there, there are often bugs on the app though so maybe check on the web version.
