What is the issue you are experiencing?

When creating a new recipe via URL, if you also edit that recipe (adding tags, categories, etc...) then the rating is discarded. If you do not edit the recipe, the rating does stick.

These steps reproduce every time:

1. Import new recipe via URL
2. On initial recipe presentation, add rating
3. Click Edit, add tags, categories, etc...
4. Click Save

Rating will not have saved.

It also reproduces if you add the rating during the add step, i.e.

1. Import new recipe via URL
2. On initial recipe presentation, click Edit, add tags, categories, etc...
3. Add rating
4. Click Save

As a workaround, while adding recipes, this flow preserves the rating:

1. Import new recipe via URL
2. On initial recipe presentation, click Edit, add tags, categories, etc...
3. Click Save
4. Add Rating

Ignore my last comment, I see the problem.

When you set the rating, the frontend immediately sends a PATCH request to the API to update it. However, when you save a recipe in the frontend, it sends a PUT request with the old value. In the case of this specific issue, the PUT is overwriting the user's rating with null (since there is no previous rating).

This is repeatable at any stage, even for existing recipes:

1. open a recipe for editing
2. change the rating (e.g. 4 --> 5)
3. save the recipe
4. refresh the page and observe that the rating didn't change (e.g. it's still 4)
