Issue with creating documents in Sanity project not being published

Hi! I already asked this question without answer, and it seem to have been buried so I ask it again.
https://sanity-io-land.slack.com/archives/C01T1B5GVEG/p1624550975405600
I have created a Node (Javascript) script to input data into my dataset with the sanity client.

I create my client like this (with real values):

const sanityClient = require('@sanity/client')
const client = sanityClient({
  projectId: 'your-project-id',
  dataset: 'bikeshop',
  apiVersion: '2019-01-29', // use current UTC date - see "specifying API version"!
  token: 'sanity-auth-token', // or leave blank for unauthenticated usage
  useCdn: true, // `false` if you want to ensure fresh data
})
Then I create a matching javascript object and call


client.create(obj);
All works fine and the document is created but it is not published. (this is an issue because I need to create a few hundred documents so I dont want to manually publish them).

The left pic is my document created with the javascript code, then right one is one I manually added.
When I fetch these with a query I only get the ones I manually publish, the other ones does not show up, neither in my local fe, nor my public one.

I actually tried without it, and I just tried setting up a new sanity project, and there it works fine.
In my current (faulty) project i tried fetching through the routes the way it is done in the template:


import { client } from '../../sanityClient';

/**
 * This route is called 'all' instead of index to prevent route conflicts.
 * @see <https://sapper.svelte.dev/docs#Route_conflicts>
 */
export async function get (req, res) {
  try {
    const posts = await client.fetch('*[_type == "productContent" && defined(slug.current)]')
    res.end(JSON.stringify({ posts }));
  } catch (err) {
    res.writeHead(500, {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    });

    res.end(JSON.stringify({
      message: err.message
    }));  
  }
};
And this still doesnt show the new document

So it's for sure an issue with our Sanity project. Since I input and fetch the same in both the projects.

Such a bittersweet feeling in those cases where you’re happy your code works but frustrated trying to figure out why it won’t work on this project.

exactly haha. We have a theory that it could be the "intl-input" plugin.
