 * Hello!
 * 1) i have created a new custom post type
    2) in that custom post type i have 
   added some custom new columns with values from post meta 3) in that custom post
   type i use only ‘author’ and ‘post meta’, so i dont need the ‘title’ columns 
   and i have remove that column with `unset( $columns['title'] )` at `manage_{post_type}
   _posts_columns` filter
 * but when i remove that column the date and time fields in quick edit fieldset
   is missing
 * any way around?
    thanks

 * Do you mean `manage_{post_type}_posts_custom_columns` filter? How are you getting
   to quick edit? When I remove the title column on my site the action link to quick
   edit goes away as well. I cannot look closer since I can’t get to quick edit.
 * Looking at the [quick edit source code](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.3/src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php?marks=1560-1564#L1558),
   I don’t see how the title column relates to quick edit date/time fields at all.
   It seems something else is going on besides removing a column.

 * Hello [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/) ,
 * With `manage_{$post->post_type}_posts_custom_column` you can change the value
   of cells. Before that, you must set what column to display with `manage_{post_type}
   _posts_columns`
 * now, if i leave the “title” column the date works fine… if i remove it, the date
   breaks

 * I found a work around… insist removing the title column and add a custom one
   
   i filtered the original title column like this
 *     ```
       function filter_post_title($title, $post_id){
           global $current_screen;
           if ($current_screen->id == 'edit-custom_post_type'){
               return get_post_meta( 'Custom title', 'name', true );
           }
       }
       add_filter('the_title', 'filter_post_title', 100, 2);
       ```

 * Hah! Clever 🙂 Good “out of the box” thinking.
