I’ve got a view of my data where I have a list of comments that have a star rating associated with them.

When you click into a comments, you can see the rating as a number and as a star rating. I’ve used the star picker to visualise it, rather than use a number.

Can I set the start picker so that the user can’t update it?

This will skew the rating of the original comment in the database if they do so and the app is there to view the data not update it.

Refer to my other post. You could display emoji instead.
