Problem with Remove documents not modifed in the last xx days

I have a database one a main server that replicates out to 2 remote servers via scheduled replication. These remote replicas are set to only receive documents in a specified view. I have “Remove documents not modified in the last xx days” UNCHECKED in both of the replicas, but old documents are still being removed from them. I tried setting the number to zero in one of the replicas, and all of the documents were removed.

For now I can set the value to 999 days as a workaround, but I would like a more permanent solution. These are archival databases, and 999 days is not going to be enough at some point.

I did a search, but couldn’t find any mention of this problem. It seems like a significant bug, so I’m a bit surprised that I haven’t been able to find anything yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried whether it makes any difference whether you set the replication formula to be the same as the view selection formula, instead of selecting the view?

Please call support with this. Thanks.

I can’t do that. It’s using a folder, not a view.
