How can I list custom posts by custom fields instead of title on back end?

  • Hi, I’m new to this so here goes.

    I created a custom post type that uses a custom field group. I don’t want the post type to have a Title so in the custom post Advanced settings I have unchecked “Title” “Editor” etc, and everything except for the Custom Fields.

    But when I click to view All of those custom posts I have created on the backend, they are displayed only by Title – all of them say “Auto Draft”.

    I want them to be displayed by two of the custom fields from the field group they use, and I want to be able to search through them, using those fields. OR I would be happy to have a title autogenerated that combines two of the custom fields.

    For now I can only get a search result if I type “auto” or “draft” – like the search box is only searching the title.

    How can I display these custom posts by fields of my choosing, or auto-generate a title from them, aand how can I search those fields on the back end, to find the post I want to work on?
    
Thank you for your help!
