"Precreated" database entries won't show

[Wernazuma]

I hava a Dokuwiki that displays linked entries on pages with the data plugin.
It works, but only after I opened a data page in the browser at least once. That's a huge problem for me, since I create and pre-populate the linked entry txt files not within the Dokuwiki.
I'm thinking about writing some script to open and close each "doku.php?id=data: " instances in my browser, but is there a simpler way?

The dataentries are fed into the database only after the indexer has seen them.
This happens when you watch the page as you described, or when you use the searchindex manager to update the searchindex.

Install https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:searchindex, update your index and your dataentries will show up.
