Adding a list of ingredients

Hi. I am stumped. I am creating a Recipe App using AppSheet. I have categories and then the recipes. The problem I am running across is how to program the app to allow someone to add mutiple ingredients for the particular recipe, without it being divided by commas. I want each item to be in a seperate column. The only way I know how to do this is to create many columns. I just want to be able to press an ADD button within the recipe page to add an ingredient.

Hi @krissepulveda

To be able to accomplish this is better to have one table/tab for the RECIPES and have the INGREDIENTS on a separate table/tab.

In both tables create a column called RecipeID and in the ingredients table configure the RecipeID to reference that column in the RECIPES table.
