Where do you go to change the lablels on all the fields on your node form? Well, for every single field except one, you go to the "Manage fields" tab for your content type. I know title is special, but if we want people to be able to find this setting intuitively, we need to move it to where people will look for it naturally :)

    I don't think Manage fields is the right place for this either. IMO it would make more sense in Manage form display, but then we're dealing with Widget settings.

    We could have a widget that has a Field label override setting that could work for any string field. The Title field could use this by default.

    However, given the age of this issue and lack of activity I'm not sure if it's worth investing the time in this.

    Yes, this is really old. Title is now more flexible for D9+ at "Manage form display" and "Manage display" resolving our issues with it.
