The fallback I'm talking about is in server metadata, not the expressions.

If "Title" is empty in server metadata tab, getcapabilities will not use
the metadata from the metadata tab.

But in general, the question is: now that we have the metata tab for both
project and layers, do we still need a separate UI server metadata?

Maybe yes: it's just a question.

But if the answer is yes, we should think about inheriting defaults in a
consistent (and documented) way.
