How Do I?

For a event information channel I would like the titles to be created from 2 other data fields. url_title = {title}-{entry_date format="%j-%M-%Y"}

I have been using MX Title Control for EE2 but that’s not available for EE3 yet or may never be.

This feature is available out of the box on Craft, so I’m guessing that it must be a fairly common need for website builders.

Totally agree with Paul, it should be the must have feature. Looking forward to hearing from the EE team.

I dig it. Would also help folks who relied on previous sneaky behavior in v2 that would auto-increment identical URL titles.
