File Title Changes in AEM Guides Repository

When I upload files to the AEM Guides repository, the file title is correct (the file name is the UUID).

 

After I open the map and topics in the XML Editor, the file title changes to match the <title> element within the topic. The name/title of the file in the repository needs to be different from the title element within the topic. How can we make the file title stop changing unless we change it in the Properties?

It looks like the file title changes to match the title element when the file is being moved. AEM should never "help" like this and should never change file names or titles. How do I stop this behavior?

The file title also changes to match the title element when the map and/or topics are loaded and saved in the XML Editor. This is not helpful.

@sschnelbach : I assume by "file title" you mean the "Title" property in the metadata of the asset.

Those properties are extracted from the XML content (<title> element), as you observed correctly. And in current behavior that title property is used to display the title of the file in various interfaces like map dashboard topics tab, webeditor, review UI, translation dashbaord etc. basically in different views to show title without opening the file.

 

However, I would like to understand why are you looking to change or retain that title to some value?
