On board views, if there are no items and ‘hide empty columns’ is turned on, then the ‘New’ button doesn’t work. It creates the below error. For my board, the columns are states which have a default value so this shouldn’t happen. Probably shouldn’t happen regardless and instead be created into a ‘No [column]’ column.
