Hi Dev,

I have proposed to fix a regression in Legend Composer for release-2_18 and in release-3_x. This feature is probaby not well known by QGIS devs and users because it has never been documented.

In QGIS 2.0, I have introduced the capability to use the layer's title as the default layer legend name. This feature has been introduced to do not have to rename manually all the legend layers item in composer eahc time a legend is added in a composer or the layer is added.

As a QGIS user, when I load layers in my project, from Shapefiles, Gpkg or PostgreSQL, I do not rename them in the layer panel (the "legend") because I like to see the real source name. For example I keep "main_roads" instead of renaming to "Main roads". In this context, I like to use the metadata "title" property as a replacement. Inside the composer, I would like to have the titles used, because my exported PDF is for my colleague and not me.

So do you think, this regression has to befixed or not ?
