Came here to talk about this. I have been trying to re-save a custom player template without a title to prevent it from populating with some random title. I can't get this method to work. I emptied the title field, and then de-selected the title checkmark and saved the template.
When I open an existing file and apply the newly saved template, the program just grabs the first text it sees from the first slide in the presentation.
This is kind of annoying. The template should not auto-populate ANY title. LOL why would anyone want that?
I started looking into this because I didn't understand at first that the player template saves the title of your open course when you save the player template. That was a problem because it kept overwriting the title metadata with an old title when I tried to publish.
This was especially puzzling, since I de-checked the option to display any title on the player.
So now, part of my workflow when applying custom templates is spending a few moments un-doing and double-checking all of the title assignments that the custom player template brings into the situation.
