This is a regression observed between Jenkins LTS 2.89.4 and LTS 2.107.2.
The version of the Job DSL plugin (1.69) is unchanged.
To reproduce:
1. Run the following Job DSL to create a folder and some sample views within that folder.
folder('/dir') {
displayName('dir')
}
buildMonitorView('/dir/Test BMV') {
jobs { regex('.*') }
}
listView('/dir/Test LV') {
jobs { regex(".*") }
}
2. Run the following Job DSL script on its own.
folder('/dir') {
displayName('dir')
}
Before the upgrade to Jenkins 2.107.2, this worked fine. Following the upgrade, step 2 destroys the views that were created in step 1.

[JENKINS-51035] Regression: Job DSL `folder('existing-folder')` creation destroys any views in that folder
I think importing of previous jobs might be broken - I'm having major problems with environment variables JENKINS-51038

Apologies, I meant to raise this as a bug originally. I have now fixed that field.
Note that we have found it is possible to work around this issue by testing if the directory already exists or not, and only creating if it doesn't, e.g.
import jenkins.model.Jenkins
if (!Jenkins.instance.getItem('dir')) ...
but this is clearly unsatisfactory in the longer term.
