Add weighting to the rating field

[Yaiza Sanz]

For the rating field, it would be very nice if you could add a weight to each rate. However, weight adding would be nice if you have the freedom to add any number. What happens now with the Bucket option is that you can only select a weight from 1 to 5.

Hi @Yaiza Sanz , thanks for the feedback. What would you like to use these weights for? 

[Yaiza Sanz]

Hello @Tanguy Crusson

In our case, we use the rating field to measure the technical and business complexity and value, figures that we then use to calculate a final score to assign the idea. We want to somehow differentiate those opportunities with higher ratings by assigning each rating a weight based on fibonacci sequence, something like this:

Thank you @Yaiza Sanz that makes complete sense. We'll need to think about that one, to see how we could do it in a way that doesn't make it complicated in the product

[Yaiza Sanz]

Sure, thanks for your quick answer!

Hi @Tanguy Crusson is there any update on this feature?

It would be very important for me too to create a WSJF prioritization metric.

I may create a custom field of a "select" type, but that cannot be used in a formula.

Any other idea or workaround?

[Tanguy Crusson]

Hi @Paolo Pastorino - we haven't done anything about this yet. In the meantime you can use a plain number field - not ideal but that's the only workaround I can think of if rating, slider combined with formula fields don't work for you.

Thanks @Tanguy Crusson  a dropdown list but with items that can be used in a formula (thus numbers) would be perfect. Currently, if I am not wrong, a dropdown item is a text one as I got errors when trying to use it in a formula.

A way to enter any Fibonacci sequence would be ideal. Thanks

I also am looking for an option of choosing a custom weight. For RICE I use .5 and .25 for low and minimal impact. This reduces the RICE score when you put it in the formula as it should.

So you actually already made the UI.

Example for the dropdown when adding the weight. Instead of showing the 1-5 selection just allow to enter a number.

@Yaiza Sanz @Claus Broholm @Paolo Pastorino I just came across this old thread: you can now configure a multi-select field to have custom weights that can be any number - to do exactly what you described

I don't think the original ask has been solved which is adding weighting to the Rating field. There are workarounds (like with multi-select or using a number) but the Rating field is great since you can just 1-click/in-line edit the rating from any of the views. No need to enter a number, multiple click to select from a dropdown (and worry about selecting more than 1), etc.

+1 to add weighting to the Rating field. Would like to use a fibonacci sequence with that to better score our items in JPD.

[Tanguy Crusson]

@Mike Chien for this use case you need to create a select field with multiple options (e.g. S, M, L, XL) and then you can give weights to each option. If it's a select field (not a multi-select) then you can only select one.

Support for adding values to support RICE as defined by Intercomm would be appreciated. 

[Tanguy Crusson]

Hi, you can use fields of type "Number" for that. Fields > create a field > Number (or rating or slider). Or multi-select fields with weighting, which now supports custom numbers as per what people asked in this post (which is a bit dated).
