Setting to Use Ids as Default Card Titles

Feature Requests

I’ve written a lot of one-off untitled cards lately. This works just fine, but becomes problematic if you want to connect such cards to others—it becomes difficult to distinguish all those cards called “untitled” in the parent hierarchy!

To get around this, I sometimes copy the card if after creation and paste that in as a title for identification purposes. (Any tips on micro-journaling? - #3 by solsen).

It’d be great if there was a user setting to do this by default: when creating a new card use the id or the first segment of the id as the default title.

While it’s a small thing, it would make a couple of my workflows more seamless.

Interesting @solsen, thanks for sharing!

We’ve got some ideas on how to make Untitled cards more ergonomic. One of them is showing the first 20 chars / or have an auto-genned AI title in the same faded grey Untitled style (less keen on this atm). So you can still distinguish between Untitled cards but it also prompts you to fill them in. This should be better than just using the UUID.

Improving the ergonomics of cards is one of our priorities post the 3.2 release, and we’ll see what we can do :slight_smile:
