Does a default item always exist for a "Subitems for X" board?

This is my main board:

This is my SubItems board in the API response.

When I query my subitems board, it returns two items. One with a parent and one without a parent. Is this expected behavior? One of them has the name “123” as shown in the UI, the other has a name of “Subitem”.

Hello there @EricM,

Yes. There is a subitem that is created with no parent, it should not generate any issues for you.

Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

Cheers,
Matias

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I thought of one question (just wanted to make sure my thinking is correct).
I believe this subitem without a parent is created as a placeholder item for the subitems board to exist (code-wise). It cannot be accessed from the user interface, so there is no actual practical value for a user to access this item. Is this correct? (Just want to ensure that I can safely ignore this item).

That is absolutely correct @EricM !
