Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm building a review site and added a custom field with "Select" format. Then I want to show it on front end with Star Rating. It doesn't work because it doesn't show up in the Field (screenshot attached). Now, if I change the custome field to "Number" format it shows up (again, please refer screenshot). I want to either make the select field work with star rating OR make numbers selectable. Currently the frontend form is just text input which is not user-friendly to pick 1-5 stars.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?
The form is here: hidden link

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I was not able to see the form as it requires login details.

As I understand - you want to display the stars instead of drop-down box to select the rating. If this is true - there is no such feature available to display starts as rating with the Toolset form but you can workaround it by adding some custom code. Please check the following example:
hidden link

Hi Minesh,

Thanks for the reply. Yes you need to log in to review so instead I added a screenshot. Please take a look.

What I want to have is showing star rating form instead of text form, but you cannot customize the form on the admin (screenshot attached).

Can you show me how I can edit specific number field of the form into star field?
The link you shared is just showing a field, not a form.

Thanks.

As shared before:
- there is no such feature available to display starts as rating with the Toolset form but you can workaround it by adding some custom code.

Please check the following example:
hidden link

To customize it you will require Javascript and jQuery knowledge. You can edit the form by activating the "Expert Mode" and then you can do your customizations.
