  To be clear, you are wanting to use first as the document title?

  No that is not currently possible. What you could do instead is create a top level field i.e. fullName and use a field hook to update that based on name.first and name.last.

  Something like this:

  {
    slug: 'example-collection',
    admin: {
      useAsTitle: 'fullName',
    },
    fields: [
      {
        admin: {
          hidden: true,
        },
        name: 'fullName',
        type: 'text',
        hooks: {
          beforeChange: [
            ({ siblingData, operation, value }) => {
              if (operation === 'create' || operation === 'update') {
                return `${siblingData.name.first} ${siblingData.name.last}`
              }
              return value
            },
          ],
        },
      },
      {
        name: 'name',
        type: 'group',
        fields: [
          {
            name: 'first',
            type: 'text',
          },
          {
            name: 'last',
            type: 'text',
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
