 * Hi, I need to create posts with automatic title.
    I found this solution:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'wpse_update_post_title_and_slug' );
       function wpse_update_post_title_and_slug( $data ) {
           if( 'estate_property' == $data['post_type'] ) {
               //Add post meta to post title
               $data['post_title'] = 'E'.$_POST['ID'];
           }
           return $data;
       }
       ```
   
 * When I create a post, the post title is automatically generated and is displayed
   in the title field.
    But when I check the database, in wp_posts table the post_title
   field is correctly filled , but in wp_postmeta table the post_title field appears
   empty. Any idea why?
