    This seems to be asked alot online and would fit this plugin well. Assigning a post title programmatically from field name(s).

    Hello,

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Regarding your suggestion, the issue is that ACF Field Groups are decoupled from the WP Admin screen they are displayed on.

    Which means the same Field Group can be displayed on a WP Post, a WP Term, a WP User, an ACF Admin Options Page etc… So having a setting “Set as Post Title” in all “Text Field” in the ACF UI doesn’t makes sense, since there is no Post Title on screen like Terms, Users, Options Pages etc…

    Unfortunately there is no perfect solution here, since fields are agnostic and not tied to the screen they are displayed on. Adding settings which have no effect in some cases could add to the confusion or general clutter of the ACF UI.

    I hope this answers your question.

    Thanks!

    Regards.
