Is it possible to use a field value as the

field being the main field of a document? In fact avoid this šŸ˜…
fields: [

                    fieldset: 'details',
                    validation: Rule => Rule.required(),

You should be able to add a preview, and use the ā€˜selectā€™ key to assign ā€˜mainTitleā€™ to the title (you can also define ā€˜subtitleā€™ and ā€˜imageā€™ by default and even create your own react component to render the preview)
  preview: {
    select: {
      title: 'mainTitle',
    }
  }
(or 
'content.mainTitle'
)
