Hi folks,
Thank you so much for upvoting this idea. I’m happy to announce that the ability to convert an active list to a static list is now available for all portals. When you now convert an active list to a static list, all your references as well as the list ID will remain the same.
To convert an active list to static go to any List > Actions > Convert to Static.
Thank you again for your help pushing ideas forward.
