Checkbox to designate a text box as the slide title

Picture this:  You have a text box on the slide, and you want to make it the slide title.  There is a check box that does that.  When selected, it automatically formats the text box appropriately and links it to the slide title so that the slide title automatically updates to match the text.

    While I can see some applications for what you are suggesting, I can't picture how a built-in feature would enable this with adequate flexibility. I can however provide you the javascript needed to implement it yourself.

    Notice that elements includes both scene titles and slide titles, starting from zero. I have successfully used this in combination with a variable that captures the student's country and updates the slide names to match their local content/spelling. You should be able to do the same using a trigger of your choice. 

    let elements = document.getElementsByClassName("linkText");

    elements[0].innerHTML = "This is the first scene name";
    elements[1].innerHTML = "This is the second slide/scene name";
    elements[2].innerHTML = "This is the third slide/scene name";
