[Feature Request] add preferenced (weighted?) votes (optional)

[natrius]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I was creating a poll where it would be nice to weight the votes.

Describe the solution you'd like

So, A get 4 points, B gets 3, C gets 1 point and D gets 2 points. So in the end the vote with the most points will win. Basically, get points as much as the available choices. A-G you get 7 points for example.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It may be niche, so i'm not completely sure its worth implementing something like this. But it would be unique and could be of value sometimes :)

This wold mean, we need different Vote types:

• Yes, No, Maybe (current and only vote type)
• Limited Numer of votes per participant [Feature Request] Add option to disallow multiple selections #162
• Limited Numer of votes per Option New feature: Booking list with limited number of entries. #403
• Priority polls from 1 .. n (n = Numer of Options)
• ...

will put it in the backlog and think about it...

Yes, you are correct. #162 is a voting system, his "yes/no/maybe" choices confused me a bit. So its a bit like "Do you want to use Nextcloud Polls or Google Doodle? Polls | Doodle" and done. #403 is also mentioned in #162 basically, i have such an option. I have to organize an event where a max of 6 people would be possible at a time (Exit-The-Room) But i would like to send it to multiple people out. Right now not really possible.
Any mine would be the priority-polls with 1...n.

That sums it up pretty good. Ouf, seems like a lot of work. Thank you for what you are doing!

I think, this is something, what is discussed here: #513 (comment)
#513

@natrius see above...

Well, its quite similar. In his he can have 7 questions and you have every answer-option on every question. I suggest something like 7 Questions and the first vote you give is given automatically the 1. The second vote you give is automatically 2. Or at least the 1 is not available to choose anymore for voting. (Or maybe the other way around, start with 7 because what gets the most points is more wanted by the majority. Probably makes more sense)
