Created vs. Added in Document Properties

I had always been under the impression (and read in documentation) that the “Created” value in document properties was when the document was originally created and the “Added (in this file)” was when the document was added to this file via replication.But for database documents where there is no other database replica, the values on new documents have “Created” as when the form was opened and “Added (in this file)” as when the document was saved. If it takes me one minute to complete a form, then these values are one minute apart. If it takes 10 minutes (with no intermeditate saves), then the values are 10 minutes apart.

Has this always been the case?

Absent a $Created field, the CreatedDate value is a time stamp incorporated in the UNID of the document. For documents composed in the Notes client, the UNID is assigned when the document is composed (that is, when the form is opened to the UI as a blank for editing). Documents that originate on the web, though, are not assigned their “real” UNID until they are initially saved, so you will find no difference between the two times if you examine a web doc.
