Show total votes from wishes within a Focus Area card
Open, MediumPublic3 Estimated Story PointsFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

  • Enhance Focus Area cards to display not only the votes on the focus area itself but also the combined total of votes across all wishes assigned to that focus area.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

  • Navigated to the Focus Area index page.
  • I noticed that the support count shown on each Focus Area card reflects only the votes placed on the Focus Area itself.
  • However, many Focus Areas contain multiple wishes with significant numbers of votes, and these are not represented in the card.
  • This creates confusion for users trying to understand the true level of community support for a given area, since the displayed number appears smaller than expected.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

  • Provides a more accurate representation of overall community support for each focus area.
  • Helps prioritize work based on actual aggregated wish votes, not just focus area-level votes.
  • Improves transparency and clarity for both contributors and product teams.
  • Encourages engagement by showing the true scale of support for topics that matter most to the community.
