I have a dashboard (2.0) using template nodes. I split the JS script across multiple templates nodes, to allow a modular architecture and let each template send/receive only the messages it needs. All works perfectly. However, even though these templates have only a section and no UI elements, each one consumes at least 1x1 screen space. Is there a way to make them completely invisible, like CSS templates? I tried assigning the templates to a "Hidden" group, but this group still appears as an empty space on the page.
