We are doing hel-muc-bkk-pnh on one ticket soon. LH digital document check insists its Thailand where we are going although its just a transit. Transit at bkk does not require Thailand pass though. Is it just a hickup in system as pnh is WE flight? Or should I just apply for thailand pass to make lh happy?

For US the checks are always more restrictive due to the high fines for the airline in case a passenger without proper documents shows up at the border. This is nothing new and even before Covid the famous API-Check / API-Ok check was done physically before boarding even if you entered all details online beforehand.

Germany has stopped requiring any covid19 related documents on June 1, so there is nothing to check

If there are documents to check, the system will work. Redhat72 was travelling to FRA, so nothing to check.

Also, now that US has removed the covid test requirement, do I still need to fill passenger disclosure and attestation form? Lufthansa website does mention that it is required but the form does mention that a negative test is required.

The requirements are here: https://lufthansa.travel-regulations...h-enabled=true
The CDC form (theoretically still required) was never needed to be uploaded into the DDC. The vaccination documentation was needed for DDC, but recently the checkin process was modified to require the pax to state (and check a box) that s/he has all the required documents. Once you do that the system generates a 'ADOC' comment in your reservation and prints/generates the boarding passes.

Apologies for resurrecting this thread.
Flying tomorrow AMS-MUC-SIN-AKL and I was trying to check in on the LH website.
The website (and the app) require to upload covid documents which seems to me are unnecessary.
Is there a workaround?
I'm mostly worried about losing the seats I selected (flying with two small children so it's kind of a big deal), will they stick until the airport if I don't check in online?
Thank you!

The issue is SIN; according to LH IT you need to fill out the entry form for SIN and upload it in order to proceed with OLCI. I had the same issue on a FRA-SIN-KUL ticket. You are not able to do OLCI unless you fill out and upload the it as if you are entering SIN.
If you check-in at the counters tmrw you don't need to do it (i.e. it is LH IT glitch); if you selected seats in advance (not in the OLCI platform) they should stick.

In reality I couldn't check in for the SIN-AKL segment (I'm assuming because they need to check the NZETA) but there I have seats confirmed from the NZ website.
Now about the weather in MUC...
