  You can make this change on the relevant collection. Use

  useAsTitle

  
  
  

  Quoting the doc

  
  
  

  Specify a top-level field to use for a document title throughout the Admin panel. If no field is defined, the ID of the document is used as the title.

  do u know if there is the possibilty to join values for 'useAsTitle'? For example displaying a relationship as part of the title. [Manufacturer.name] + [name]

  Have you tried virtual fields?

  when you were digging in to this, did you find any way to render something other than text in the relationship dropdown? I'm trying to show an image thumbnail but haven't found a way to customize the dropdown item components

  Not yet. I only needed to display other text

  This helped me a lot! It would be great if we could add something to the docs for Relationships, since the default of showing an ID is an unpleasant look, and I had to look in Discord to find this
