I think the same are inserted about 48 hours prior to the flight but I haven't watched closely enough to know precisely.
It's not uncommon for trips to be dropped, traded, or reassigned so the names would be changing a lot if they were assigned sooner.

CRE, D multiple enteries on UA flight upgrade list
My flight to SYD is in a couple days and so I thought I’d spy on the upgrade list a little bit so I changed the time on my phone and checked the app. This is what I saw: Business class fully booked and the upgrade list has 9 CRE, D on it. What’s going on here? Given the 30 passenger per flight limit is still in place I don’t think UA can even sell out all 48 business seats.

The two blank entries and then lots of CRE, D., seems most likely to be bad data, although it's possible that there's some family out there that really likes "D" names.

Yeah, the top two redacted entries (unsure why they were redacted, as it's very easy to look them up as W/DEN and N/LUC) are revenue pax trying to upgrade, unlike the D/CRE entries.
