I will extend this issue, asking to allow ga:pageTitle to be a metric too.

With ga:pageTitle like a dimension, sometimes the ga:pageTitle returns (not 
set) on
matching data ga:pagePaths and divide my page (and consequently my pageviews) 
in two
different pages (one with the real title and other with (not set) on title).

If ga:pageTitle was a metric, the query could return always the real title, just
because the title will be on the line where it´s different to (not set).

I have the same issue as leomuniz.primos - I want to clean up my reports so that
entries with ga:pageTitle not set do not end up creating a separate line item 
in my
report for the same ga:pagePath. It confuses other users looking at my reports, 
and I
don't want to just filter them out and lose the data.

Hello!!

I'm all For GA Support Team to Help Make Content DrillDown a part of the Google
Analytics API process.

I'm stuck at extracting all my Page Path's and then Aggregating It by a certain
string in the URL. What a waste of time when I could just filter by a "content 
drilldown"
