We have a project from 2018 we made into a template and are trying to use now. However, when you use the list view, the sections are un-editable and we cannot add new sections using the dropdown at the top.

When I switch from the list view to board view, everything that’s normally in sections in the list view falls into one column on the board view. I can also add sections using board view. When I switch back to list view, they are at the bottom under a section titled “[no value set]”

Hi @Hailey,

Is your project sorted by due date or assignee? If so, you need to remove these filters before you can add/edit/delete a Section 🙂
