  if you want the name to be used across payload to identify documents in that collection, you can set

  admin.useAsTitle

  in its collection config:

  How you've solved it? I'm facing the same issue.

  From what I understand, in the collection’s CollectionConfig that you want the specific field to be displayed instead of the

  id

  , try adding the following:

  
  
  

  admin: {
      useAsTitle: 'title',
    },
