Is it possible to use a field value as the

title

for an

object

field being the main field of a document? In fact avoid this 😅

fields: [
        {
            name: 'content',
            type: 'object',
            inputComponent: Tabs,

            // Tabs
            fieldsets: [
                { name: 'details', title: 'Details' },
                { name: 'infos', title: 'Informations' },
                { name: 'content', title: 'Content' },
            ],
            options: {
                // layout: 'object'
            },

            // Fields
            fields: [
                /**
                 * Details
                 */
                {
                    name: 'title',
                    title: 'Project title',
                    type: 'string',
                    fieldset: 'details',
                    validation: Rule =&gt; Rule.required(),
                },

You should be able to add a preview, and use the ‘select’ key to assign ‘mainTitle’ to the title (you can also define ‘subtitle’ and ‘image’ by default and even create your own react component to render the preview)

  preview: {
    select: {
      title: 'mainTitle',
    }
  }

(or

'content.mainTitle'

)

Not at all! there’s a lot of depth to the Studio customization

also, if the title is only for presentation in the studio, you can hardcode it like this:
