Minecraft Recipe Book not working in multiplayer

I recently installed minecraft 1.12 and it's great, especially the recipe book. I generally play with my child and the book is a big help.

However, in multiplayer, the recipe book doesn't work correctly. When clicking a recipe, it briefly loads it into the crafting window then automatically clears it without creating the item. See this video for an example: https://streamable.com/74c2u

Is this a known issue and is there a fix for it?

There is a glitch that can be used to duplicate items. The server you are on may be causing that issue to prevent the glitch from being possible until the problem is fixed correctly. You might check with the server website or administration and see if that is the case.

Edit: This is not my answer. It is the answer you get if you follow the link provided by kalebr in the comments. In case his link goes down.

Give the permission minecraft.autocraft to allow players to use the recipe book.

Be warned, at the time of this edit, the duplication glitch is still functioning so allowing players to use autocraft enables them to duplicate items. This includes stacking items that normally can not be stacked(totems, armor, tools, etc)
