🚀 Entity Feedback Plugin: Providing multiple feedbacks per entity

[mbrettschneider]

Plugin Name

Entity Feedback Plugin

🔖 Feature description

It might be that a user wants to provide multiple feedbacks. Currently, the old feedback gets overwritten. Instead, it should be listed as an additional feedback.

🎤 Context

In my use-case, I would expect that entities could have multiple issues, found by one user in multiple usages of the entity.

✌️ Possible Implementation

Thanks for requesting this issue - I think it makes sense to allow this as an option for configuring this plugin.

I think this can be supported by making a simple change to the current ratings components: https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/ff24f6e6409ed2280b74e1978959b423d5e0fb62/workspaces/entity-feedback/plugins/entity-feedback/src/components/LikeDislikeButtons/LikeDislikeButtons.tsx#L72-L90 https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/ff24f6e6409ed2280b74e1978959b423d5e0fb62/workspaces/entity-feedback/plugins/entity-feedback/src/components/StarredRatingButtons/StarredRatingButtons.tsx#L71-L92

A component prop can probably be added to disable the hooks above - something like showPreviousRating = false, defaulted to true to preserve current behavior. This should allow a user to enter a new rating every time they visit the entity since the backend should already handle persisting each submission appropriately timestamped.

It should be a relatively straightforward change if someone is willing to contribute this enhancement 🙂
