separate the title from the course name?
I'd like to be able to name my courses like "Course Nov 3 version - copy 2" or something like that (as shown in the list of courses in the Rise dashboard), WITHOUT that being shown as the "title" of the course when I go into the actual course. Is that possible, or are they inextricably linked?
At this point, the name of the course (as seen in your Rise dashboard) and the title (as seen in the course) are the same.
I think a lot of use would like to see the two separated. Or, at least, have the ability to add version info that would show in the dashboard.

The only way I have found is to catch the data as it's being loaded in the exported HTML, using JavaScript.
Look for the line (around line 116 on a web export)
const courseData = deserialize(encoded)And then you can set the course title like this
courseData.course.title = "YOUR TITLE HERE"It's a bit hacky but has saved us on an export of 500+ pieces with descriptive titles that shouldn't be in the published item. The description was all in the part leading up to the predictable word "Unit" so instead of using a string when setting the title, we were able to read the value, strip out the beginning up to the word "Unit"and set it to that.
But I wholeheartedly agree, the project title and the display title should definitely be separated.
