Locate Variable Sets

The Variable Sets tab on the Recipes page shows the base variable set for the recipe, any override variable sets that have been configured, and what variations use each variable set.

Tour the Variable Sets tab

First, open a kitchen and select a recipe from the list. Then select the Variable Sets tab.

  • The top row of the table shows the Base Recipe Variables set defined in variables.json.
  • Each subsequent row in the table lists the override variable sets defined in variations.json and the variations that use them.

Select Actions to edit or copy the base variable set or to edit, rename, or delete an override variable set.

Click Add Variable Set to create an override set in the recipe. See Define Variation Override Variables for more information.
