Importing recipes and ingredient sections

First Check

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

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

When you import a recipe with sections, it adds the section header as an ingredient. Then when you go to edit it into a section, you're left with an empty checkbox where the old text was. Deleting the list item results in the section's deletion...

(Small note to the maintainers, "tagged" is misspelled as "taged" in the template)

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

Can't we just create a section header? Or at least don't show empty list items?

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

All the ingredients might not be tied to the section...

Can you share the URL for the recipe in your example? Depending on where the issue lies it might be fixable, but I have a feeling it's a data issue

Thanks! Yup, this is a source data issue, it lists the sections as ingredients. See the JSON here:

"recipeIngredient": [
    "For the Sauce:",
    "1/2 cup (120ml) homemade brown chicken stock or store-bought, low-sodium chicken broth",
    "1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce",
    "1/4 cup (60ml) Korean rice syrup (see note)",
    "1/4 cup (60ml; 60g) gochujang (Korean chili paste)",
    "1/4 cup (25g) fine ground gochugaru (Korean chili powder)",
    "2 tablespoons (30ml) toasted sesame oil",
    "2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil",
    "8 large garlic cloves, minced",
    "One (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon; 12g)",
    "2 fresh red chili peppers, minced (see note)",
    "1 tablespoon (6g) freshly ground black pepper",
    "1 cup (240ml) Sprite",
    "For the Chicken:",
    "4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds; 675g)",
    "To Finish:",
    "6 ounces (170g) low-moisture mozzarella, shredded",
    "2 scallions, thinly sliced",
    "1 tablespoon (6g) toasted sesame seeds"

Unfortunately there's nothing really we can do about that, it has to be manually edited. I've noticed with serious eats that most of their recipes are like that.
