My main need is to be able to get a category sync from discourse with the Vote counts which is currently not an option as you can see in image below.

I was talking with Discourse folks and they gave me info about the voting plugin with they made some changes to in 2020. Hopefully it will be helpful in making this possible for categories where voting is enabled.

> For starters, the code for the plugin that handles topic voting on your site is publicly available at [GitHub - discourse/discourse-topic-voting: Adds the ability for voting on a topic within a specified category in Discourse.](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-voting)

> Current User Experience Tensions and Limitations: In the existing Fibery setup, while we have powerful tools to capture and organize information, there’s a noticeable gap in capturing granular feedback. Single select fields, while useful, can only store one value at a time, making it challenging to aggregate feedback from multiple users or compute averages. This limitation hinders our ability to provide a holistic view of user sentiment, especially for project teams aiming to collect and analyze…
