I have created a document type called summary which contains well.. a summary. These summaries are from meetings held on specified dates stores in a field called meetingdate. I have created a listing document type called summaries. What i want is the summaries (document type summary) to be named according to the meetingdate, eg. meetingdate 080914 document title = "Summary 080914". It should not be possible for the user to edit the title field. Is this possible? I am pretty new to both umbraco and ASP.NET so documentation links would be much appreciated, but clues on how to do this is perfect aswell!
I'm asuming that it's users of the backoffice that you don't want to be able to edit the field? Is it going to be the title of the document (Like it's being a URL) or is it a title property on the document?
Hmm - In versions < 7 I would have advised to install the tab-hider package by Tim Payne since I think you're able to hide the "properties" tab using it making sure users can't override/change the title of the page.
Not sure how to achieve it in Umbraco 7 though. Does the page necessarily have to have this in the title / url of the page? Or could it be a field on the document? I'm thinking you should then be able to create a property editor where you can perhaps hide it from certain user types.
Automatically assign title

Hi Anders
What version of Umbraco are you using?

Hi!
I'm using umbraco 7.1.4
Yes it is the users of the backoffice who should not be able to edit the field. And it is the title of the document, yes.
Thanks for your response!
