title basically says it all. it would be amazing to have a layer option to ignore column triggers if theres no clip in it. so if you run for instance a background loop and switch items on top of it, you dont want to start the background loop everytime from zero if you trigger the column
edit: the background loop would start from zero every time because i have to put the background loop in every column so it wont get deleted. but thats not nice

Surely that’s what setting the Layer to ignore column trigger does?

no because I want that it only ignores column triggers if the clip is empty. it should trigger the clip if theres one.

I think your edit makes more sense to me now.
I do the same, duplicating background layers across columns where very occasionally it might need to transition to something else. I set the playback to “continue” so that even though it moves to the new column it maintains the play head position.
