It's debatable whether this is a bug or an enhancement.
The "Title" field in Identification info should be blank when the user is
creating a new metadata. At present it fills it in using the name of the
template.
If it's not blank it's easy to miss that you've not filled it in, and I
can't see why you'd want a metadata entry named after a template.

Comment(by heikki):
When the user creates a new metadata, the GeoNetwork editor presents the
user with a copy of the template that was chosen by the user. This is a
really a copy, so it contains all elements that are in the template, incl.
text nodes, if present.
Therefore I do not think this ticket is either a bug or an enhancement. If
you do not like to see the title of the template you could remove it from
the template (although that conceivably causes some issues in the template
selection lists -- but maybe *that* would be more of a bug/enhancement to
be fixed). It would seem strange to introduce a special handling for just
the title element -- the same logic applies to any template-filled
elements, their content is copied when creating a new metadata.

Comment(by osjonathan):
I surmised that was the behaviour but I don't think it's desirable.
As you noted, you can't leave the template title empty because then the
users will have issues selecting the correct template (even if it's the
only one as it will be, still looks odd with a empty-looking list).
Fundamentally I don't mind how it's implemented, but I really don't think
its desirable to have this element filled in with the template name.
Couple of possible solutions:
a) My originally implied one - don't transfer the "title" element from the
template to new metadata.
b) Have another field especially for template names.
The point of a template is to be a template - it shouldn't include
"extranous" information (and the name of the template is irrelevent once
you're in the metadata.edit page).
