Typing anything in Internal Address overwrites the External Address
Is there somewhere this function can be turned off? My internal and external addresses are very different, it is tedious anytime my internal addresses shift, that I must also then re update my external address.
For example,
My current internal and external addresses for the app mealie
internal address - random.name.example:9900
external address - someotherexample.com
I change my internal address to
random.name.example2:9900
now my external address is also
random.name.example2:9900
Tagging this as bug/design because I'm not sure if its even intended, although considering how central this function is, its hard to imagine its not.

Hi, thanks for the post. Yes, it is intended, as you are supposed to fill out the internal one first and then the external one. But it's definitely not good user experience.
Tagging @ajnart for visibility
I had the same experience when I set my stuff up. All my external links go through a cloud flare tunnel to my domain. But the internal links are on the lan.
Thanks, my personal experience is that internal addresses are much more likely to change as well, so this is not an uncommon occurrence.
Yea, you're right
We should really change this behaviour...
@deftlymoving it's a bug, the external address should only get overwritten if it's empty
Can you open up a github issue about it ?
Sure
