Hey all,

It would be amazing if the rating components could act as a data display component as well as a data input component.

I’m building out a review style app, and would love to show the reviews scores using stars, but currently, there doesn’t seem to be any way to do this, so I’m stuck using the Progress Bar component instead.

If anybody has any workarounds for showing star ratings based on the sheet data, thatd be awesome!

I managed to come up with a custom-built solution that’s an improvement to a simple drop down menu of ratings.
