$ConflictAction field not created

We have documents created on the backend via LotusScript in several dbs. The form has “Merge/No Conflicts” set for Conflict Handling. However, when the documents are created, the $ConflictAction field is NOT being created. Why not? Do we have to go through all code and explicitly set this field? Why isn’t this being automatically set?

Subject: $ConflictAction field not created

If you create those document purely through the back-end, LotusScript couldn’t care less about any form settings you have applied.

Either use ComputeWithForm (slow) or set the $ConflicAction item as you need it.
