It would be nice to have a rating field type as a way of visualizing numbers or fractions. This field has several use cases including:

- Seamless importing of data from forms to aggregate and report on in Fibery charts
- Create apps for managing agenda items
- Prioritizing or ranking features
- Increase the interactive elements in a table view

I know it’s not the same UX as clicking on a row to choose the rating, but you can use a single-select to get something nice enough:

And you can add a number field to the single-select type which can be used in formulas if needed.

You can pretty easily get a “read only” version of this by creating a Text field, whose definition is a fairly simple Formula that translates some numeric value (the source field) into a string, e.g.:

(4.1) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

@Chr1sG , I think you won that one 😜

I think this is a sizeable solution.  
This works for entering data into Fibery manually, but it’d require a switch formula or the like when pulling data in from a source like typeform.  
I’d definitely still like to see data visualization added to number fields so we can have interactive displays like a slider or a rating

I like this, but I’m disappointed that there isn’t an empty star emoji ☹
