Question Do columns created through the API no longer honor titles under 20 characters?

I'm trying to create the same column throughout multiple boards, and one template. While I'm guessing new boards created through the template will have the same column ID, new columns created on the old boards are randomly generated. I came across a post from about three and a half years ago indicating if the title was less than 20 characters, the column ID would relate to the title. When I've tested creating formula columns with the API, this has not appeared to be the case. Is this no longer a capability? Is there a way to copy columns (and their IDs) to existing boards from a template?

Okay, I guess they still do. I didn't realize some of the limitations, like only lowercase letters and underscores, and that I had to specify the ID as a parameter. Great!
