**When clicking ‘New’ button (top right) of a board:**

**A new empty card shows up in the column without State assigned:**

**After inserting the text and hitting Enter, the card shifts to the ‘default state’ (in this case ‘Normal’)**

**Issue:**  
This is confusing behavior, because a user would expect the board to be aware of the default state, if the columns are based on states and the column of that default state is present.

**Expected behavior:**  
When clicking the New button, an empty card would show up in the column of the state that is set as default (in the case of this example, the Normal column).

Different, but similar bug for weird board column behavior:

> [@New button doesn't work when empty columns are hidden](https://community.fibery.io/t/new-button-doesnt-work-when-empty-columns-are-hidden/4567):
>
> 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. [image]
