Description

Summary: Add a new card property that is a vote counter.

How important this is to me and why:

Importance: Medium

Use cases:

  1. Let people upvote their favorite feature ideas
  2. Let people upvote questions to answer during a live Q&A session

Additional context / similar features: The v1 of this could be an extension of the number property, by adding toggle buttons (+1 , -1).

v2 would be the addition of a new property type that also tracks who upvoted

  • It provides a total count
  • And also a list of users who upvoted

v3 could be the addition of star ratings to each vote

  • Provides the average star rating (out of 5)
  • And the list of users and their votes

It would be easy to create views that are sorted by the rating, to use in meetings and discussions.

What do you guys think? Any other similar use-cases or other forms of input?

Research direction
This is a feature request proposing a vote/poll counter property for cards. To proceed, first review existing property types (e.g., number property) in the codebase to understand how they are implemented. Then, discuss with maintainers to define scope and acceptance criteria for v1. Look at similar features in other project management tools for inspiration. Since there are no comments, initiate a new issue or comment to gather feedback.
