HI I am trying to run correlations with ordinal data but Jamovi does not allow me to do so. Can anyone help?

I would suggest changing the scale to "continuous" and then running a rank-based nonparametric correlation: Either Spearman's Rho or Kendell's Tau-b.

Wouldn't that be "unethical"...?

Hi Bev
you can use 'polychoric' correlation with ordinal data by using 'seolmatrix' module in jamovi library.
