How to Use the Title of an Object in the Preview for the Page Builder

7 replies
Last updated: Aug 18, 2020
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the title of the object in the preview for a pageBuilder? e.g if I have an object called 'Two Images' can I have that as the preview title

My page builder pulls the title for objects from the object itself
So if the object has a title set that is what is shown, see how here

Sure, but I am not adding a title. I would like the title to be the title of the object rather than one set by the user

basically I just want to be able to put a string in there

have you tried something like this:
title: `some title`

Yes, I thought back ticks would work but it still says untitled for some reason

I think you should be able to do something like this:

  preview: {
    prepare() {
      return {
        title: "Two Images",
      };
    },
  },
