Star Rating Feature - Add Custom Maximum Star Count Option

I would like to request the ability to adjust the number of stars in the Star Rating feature for presentations (e.g., 4 stars, 6 stars, etc.). Currently it appears to be fixed at 5 stars, but in research paper presentations and academic presentations, a 4-point scale is frequently used.
If users could select the maximum number of stars, it would allow us to create presentations that match various evaluation systems.

Hey 촬스 박, thanks for the super clear request. Totally get why a fixed 5-star scale is limiting for academic stuff. I’ll pass this to the team.
Quick couple questions so we design it right:
1) Would you want this as a per-rating setting (each star widget can be 4, 5, 6, etc.) or a doc-wide default?
2) For a 4-point scale, do you want it to still look like stars, or would another style (dots, numbers, labels) be better for your use case?

Thanks for your quick feedback :)
My answers for your questions are the following:
1) I think a per-rating setting would be better for users. In academic research, point scales vary depending on the statistical method, and researchers often use multiple statistical methods in a single study.
2) The star-scale would be the best for presentation.
