Maximum revision Podio item (5000)
As we already know there is a maximum amount of revision on a Podio item (5000).
Is there any way (automatic) to know when an item would be close to 5000 revisions? Then it would be possible to clone an item automatically in advance.

there is revision info in each item. So you could use API calls to monitor your critical APPS.
"revisions": The latest 8 revisions of the item sorted descending by date [ { "revision": The revision number, ... (see the get revisions operation for details)
When Revision number is near the limit send alert or take actions ...

Hi Thomas
Within a Podio Workflow automation flow, you can call a Procfu script to get the number of revisions for an item
https://procfu.com/scripts/?s=podio_item_get_revision_count.pf
If you aren't already familiar with it, Procfu is a very widely-used Podio extension that simplifies access to the Podio API.
You could set up a regular by date/day flow that checks the revision count for an item, and if it is getting close to 5,000, you can create a new item to replace the existing one, and then delete the old one.
I have used this technique in the Podio systems I manage.
