Can't create a new or copy existing recipe?

is_this_taken

When I try to copy a recipe I just get a "Failed to copy recipe" error.
When creating a new recipe I get "There was a problem retrieving your recipe."

I did find this "While performing the scheduled maintenance, we became aware of an issue with creating or updating recipes. We are continuing to investigate this issue and are working on a fix."

Any workarounds or suggestions?

Apparently it’s a known issue and we have to wait it out. I pulled this from their contact customer support page. I’m having the same issue. Very frustrating.

“Hi there,

At least you can get to the recipes page! I haven’t been able to for several weeks

You can use the Meals function in the meantime?

And just be careful with trying to update recipes in the meantime because the ones I tried to modify simply disappeared from the list, not even the old ones are now available. better to wait it out

Adding and copying recipes started working for me.
