Custom Templates: Should use "title" instead of "name" when displayed to the user

[kjellr]

When adding a custom template using the following example from the docs, the name that shows up in the UI is what's entered into the name field:

{
    "version": 1,
    "customTemplates": [
        {
            "name": "my-custom-template",
            "title": "The template title",
            "postTypes": [
                "page",
                "post",
                "my-cpt"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Site Editor Sidebar	Site Editor Title Bar	Post/page Editor

I would've expected the "Title" field to show up in the UI, since that's the one that includes proper capitalization.

I went down a 3 hour rabbit hole, so I am removing the good first issue label 😊

Hi, @carolinan. Are you still working on this issue?

[carolinan]

No, but you could start here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/lib/full-site-editing/block-templates.php#L222 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/lib/full-site-editing/block-templates.php#L225

The HTML file itself never includes the name, only theme.json does, so the slug is used twice.

Thank you, @carolinan.
