Hi Brian,

I know it’s not possible to create a EE title based on a few keys from API but maybe that would be a good feature? At the moment we have to use lets say unique ID as an entry title which is weak solution if you want to search by titles.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Daniel. I don’t have any immediate plans to look into this feature. Until then, one can achieve this by creating a custom extension and utilizing the ajw_datagrab_modify_data hook.

The next release will have a Title Suffix, and URL Title Suffix field you can use to append another field’s value to the title to create something unique. This is about as far as I’ll take the default behavior. Anything more complicated would need to utilize the hook.
