# Custom Post Type Title

 * I created a post type, and then allowed only the editor, page-attributes, revisions,
   and comments for the page. I intentionally left out title. I then have a metabox
   with some fields. After entering in the metabox fields and publishing, I notice
   the title is actually “auto draft” when I look at the single page or the post
   listings for it.
 * I don’t want to use the standard title box to enter the title either, I actually
   want to use one of the custom fields to replace it. But I don’t just want to 
   mask it. I actually want to have the custom field saved as the actual title for
   the post also. This way when I look at the single page as well as the list of
   posts, it appears correctly there. I just can’t seem to find a solution.
