[QGIS-Developer] 2.18 and 3.x Fix regression in Legend Composer : PR 7260

[René-Luc Dhont]

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 ?
