"By the way, even with the View/folder entries resource, you should be able to get newly created documents to appear in a view. The trick is usually to use the form and computewithform parameters. We would need more information to understand why that's not working for you.
Dave, Thanks for the answer. I seem to have missed that very important detail in the documentation. That said, the documents created are strange, to say the least.
What I attempted to do was create a document using both form=Profile and computewithform=true. Using computewithform was when I had disappearing documents. Maybe I'm creating Profile docs instead of my own "Profile" form? I hadn't thought of that until just now. That would explain things partly but it doesn't explain why it works with the other URL pattern.
When I tested this theory, I did get strange results but not the invisible documents this time. There is some combination that I've since fixed that causes this. I guess the question is can you create Notes Profile docs via JSON? If so, maybe that's what happens in certain cases. I now have a test database with 832 documents, 829 of which I can't see via any means that I've discovered without knowing the UNID. My guess is they are Notes Profile docs.
FWIW, the view I'm working with is very simple, just a single column with the Author(s) DN in it. My other view just lists the UNID.
By the way, the documents created are valid documents. Both fixup and copy-style compacts on the database don't alter the document count.
