Title Expressions

Build the title of a node from the values of its fields
Title expression are set in a supertag called "Build title from fields", and will apply to all its instances.

Title expressions composes field values from the node into a title using this the format: ${field name}

The title expression uses the actual name of the attribute.
You can also write between the fields, it could look like this; ${Objective} with the team at ${Date}
The existing name of the node can be accessed through ${name}. Note that if the title expression begins with ${name}, you will be able to edit the first part of the title directly on the node. In any other case, the node title will be locked for editing (even if ${name} appears later in the expression)
You can also specify a max length using ${field name|30…} which will show only the first 30 characters of a value.
Choose whether you want the placeholder to appear if the field is empty by appending a ? - either ${field name|?} or ${field name|30…?}.
As of January 2023, in fields that have a list of nodes as values, we include all field values, not just the first one.
System attributes available in the title expression are
${cdate} and ${ctime} - Created date and time in UTC, i.e. not local time)
${mdate} and ${mtime} - Modified date and time in UTC, i.e. not local time
${sys:description} - Description field
${sys:createdAt} - Time of creation
${sys:lastModifiedAt} - Time of last edit
${sys:lastModifiedBy} - User who last edited the node
${sys:modifiedBy} - All users who ever created/modified the node
${sys:owner} - Parent node
${sys:dateFromDayNode} - The day node this node belongs to (Calendar date system field)
