What went wrong, step-by-step?

1. When the Connection Pub Element is shown on the Layout
2. The Author Name is shown, rather than the Pub Title ...

What did you expect to happen?

I'd rather have the Pub Title shown than the author's name.

What URL can we use to see the issue?

• Right now, though, we're hiding "connections" as a Pub Element as we launch this page.

• 2070 looks to have the same issue. But maybe they'd want the author to be displayed?

What browser/operating system were you using?

For some historical context, we show author names instead of titles because it made sense for HDSR's use case — and some others, where the Pub title is typically A response to XX and thus less informative than the authorship.

We'll need to continue to support that, but I think we can add a field to the Pub Connections display settings (which I am currently standardizing) to toggle between titles and authors, and perhaps to make titles the default.
