    How can I insert a rating (star o scale rating) inside the input table cells?

    It appears that Input Tables don’t support star ratings. Is there another way to simulate a star‑rating control? I’m trying to build a table with three columns—Desired Result, Importance, and Satisfaction—where both Importance and Satisfaction use a 1‑to‑5 star scale. The table should include 20 rows for the Desired Results.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand your request, but it isn't currently possible to add a Star or Scale Rating as Input Type in the Input Table element. While the feature isn’t available yet, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. Exactly when or if it will be developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    As a workaround, I can suggest you to use Star or Scale Rating on your form by default, and then shrink them on your form to place them next to each other. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element.How can I insert a rating (star o scale rating) inside the input table cells? Image 1 Screenshot 60
    2. Scroll down and add Star Rating to your form.How can I insert a rating (star o scale rating) inside the input table cells? Image 2 Screenshot 71

    4. In the opening panel on the right, click on the Advanced tab.How can I insert a rating (star o scale rating) inside the input table cells? Image 4 Screenshot 93

    Thank you for your response!

    One last question—would it be possible to use a custom icon instead of the default options provided?
