I am configuring a task board which currently has no tasks associated, but does have categories associated to rows. I’d like to be able to hide empty rows, but doing so removes the ability to add tasks to a completely empty board (for a new project for example). I’d like to at least the ability to add a task (or other entity) and it be associated with “No Category” until I open the task and associate it.

Can you make use of the +New button in the top right for this?

When I try with “Hide Empty Rows” selected, this shows up:

It does work if I create a form, but just hitting the +New button wont work which may confuse users.
