i ran into a problem while creating a kanban board , if a column is empty then it disappears.:

there are 4 columns in this board but one only is appearing:

its because the column is empty, but when i associate a card to this column it reappears again.

i don’t want that behaviour at all. i tried to add an empty card when creating a column automatically but i couldn’t filter it from the view. i don’t know what to do other than prevent user from deleting a card if it is the only one in the column but that makes no sense. any ideas?

How are you configuring your Kanban component? Can you give us a screenshot?
