Is it possible to remove the Title field on PageTableNext field items?

[artfulrobot]

Requiring a title for each 'content-element' on a page gets quite cumbersome. I don't need the "PageTitle" field on a 'page' that is just an element *of* a page.

Just wondering if there's workarounds to disable this?

Hi @artfulrobot Have you seen this thread? Does it answer your question?

@Zeka ah, thanks.

The link above takes you to a long and old forum thread that began in 2012. For anyone finding my duplicate question here, I think the TL;DR of that thread might be:

1. You can get rid of the title field (advanced » uncheck "Global" for the field), but you will get looks like ?, may encounter weird issues including problems with page names which are not optional. So getting rid of the title field is not generally the way to go.
2. You can rename the title field in the context of its use on a particular template. So just name it something that every one of those pages would need. No good if those don't have such a field, and anyway bit weird in templates where you're accessing `title` but meaning `last name` or whatever, and also, title had probably best be unique.
3. Since 2013, you can use a new feature to automatically generate the title, when you have a template that only allows one type of template below it. See Ryan's initial explanation.
4. You can also auto-generate a title using hooks though a lot of testing is needed.
