Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Often, when creating a new card -- more often than not -- I want to enter more information than just the title of a card when I create it. And most of the time when I create it, it's immediately lost in a large list of other cards (probably at the very bottom), causing me to have to search for the card that I just created so I can add more information to it.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see a configuration option, maybe per board, that would optionally pop open the details dialog of the card immediately after creation so that I don't have to hunt for the card to entire more details.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A different approach might be to have an option to create new cards at the top of the list, so that they are easy to immediately find.

Research direction

Start by locating the card-creation flow and the existing card-details dialog in the JavaScript frontend. Check how a board-level configuration could distinguish creating a card from creating it and opening its details; done means both choices work reliably after card creation.
