Was it a design decision to not give default columns id's? #202

Description

@AvidDabbler

I am building pfm and it is a framework to allow my agent to create and track prds locally in md files.
When I pull the cards the cards in Maybe come back with empty id's and name's. Seems like this might be tied to the fact that they are default columns using non-uuid's.

So is this a feature, bug or does it GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP?

EDIT:
Looking further into this. I did a test where I moved the card from maybe to prd.

if you do this and monitor https://app.fizzy.app/1/cards/216.json if the card is in maybe the column key is undefined and populates on column change. So I guess this confirms this is an API issue not a CLI issue.

I have opened up the discussion here basecamp/fizzy#2596
