    I am using the Jetpack Food Menu functionality on a pub website. I would like to add the same item to two difference menu sections. Like this:

    Dinner
    -Veg Salad
    -Fettuccine Alfredo

    Vegetarian Options
    -Veg Salad
    -Fettuccine Alfredo

    This is to ensure if updating an item then it only has to be done in one place.

    Happy to include the URL, https://www.thewaterfrontgastropub.ca, as it also shows off how jetpack can be used to show a menu.

    You will see a i have a work around for vegetarian by using a tag and then have a click here to see only vegetarian dishes etc.

    In the Food Menu Item edit window i can tick two menu sections but it just moves it to the second menu section.

    Hi @jb0591,

    I did some testing on my test site by using the same theme you’ve installed in your site, and I came to the conclusion that this might be possible is you rename the two items with a different name.

    At the moment, the two items you want to get synced in two different menu sections are “called” in two different way – Dinner and Vegetarian Options.

    By calling those two items in a different unique way, you should be able to edit these two only in one place and then got them updated in two different menu sections.

    From what I tested at my end, this seems to be more time-consuming than updating the items manually as you wanted to avoid.

    The tags workaround you found is a good one, though: I’d suggest testing it for a bit and see if this is something you can keep using.

    Hope that helps! Let me know your thoughts and if you have more questions or doubts I can answer for you.
