Recipe option? You mean the "Examine recipe and craft item"? Afaik that's just a remnant of an old version and doesn't work in general because recipes were removed. At least it doesn't do anything when I try to use it, maybe your module has a custom recipe script?
What I fixed was explicitly the same as that old thread, i.e. the conversation crafting. Now you can use "craft item" on a rod and choose from a list or just cast your spell on the rod to craft it (which worked already).
