Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Click on the "+ New" button to make a new card
  2. Immediately close the modal without making any changes

Expected behavior

A card isn't created automatically unless the user enters some text or makes some changes. It feels too easy to accidentally create cards that you didn't mean to.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for the card creation handler in the frontend code and add a check to prevent creating a card if the modal was closed without any changes.
