Fix the app recipe builder to include multiple units

So any time I use the app to import a recipe from the website, I have to replace every ingredient because the ones that it finds only brings up one type of unit - EVEN if the entry it finds actually has multiple.
For instance, I'll have eggs in the ingredients. The matched item is a green tick egg entry, but the amount it defaults to is 1 cup. When I go to change the quantity, cups are the only available units, but when I go "replace entry", the search brings up that exact green ticked entry, but with multiple unit choices. So I have to replace the entry with the exact same one from the database, but can only change units after I've 'replaced' it.
Its super annoying and makes a ton of work, and takes away from an otherwise really handy import feature.

This - and an auto-convert feature for recipes. I’ve used metric all my life, and all my cups are different sizes😉0
