Set Item ViewCount

[AndreasEugster]

Hi,

Is it possible to change/set the ViewCount of an Portal-Item? Had to recreate a corrupt item and was wondering if I could set the viewcount to that one from the old corrupt item.

Thanks,

Andi

The short answer is no, it's not possible.

Because you created a new item, even though it's identical to the original, Portal still sees it as new and starts the view count back at zero.

Thanks for the reply.

Still curious for the long answer 🙂
I guess short "not via Python-/ Rest-API etc." and long "direct on the item-portalserver-folder or the database which you should not touch"?
