Explain the problem as you see it
There are specific circumstances in which the Title column in a table is redundant. It would be good to have the option to hide it.
Why is this a problem for you?
Let's say I have a task that repeats frequently, but irregularly, perhaps to pay some vendor, "ACME Manufacturing". Whenever they invoice me I create a reminder "Pay ACME Manufacturing" with fields for due date, amount, invoice number. I want to always use the same title, because in all other view and search nodes it is immediately apparent what it is.
But when I want to search for all instances of this, and see how much I have paid them over a specific amount of time, my table looks like this:
Title Due date Amount
----------------------------------------------------
Pay ACME Manufacturing Mon, 4 Sept 456
Pay ACME Manufacturing Wed, 6 Sept 987
Pay ACME Manufacturing Fri, 8 Sept 678The first column is wholly redundant in this particular search and takes up a lot of room, but there is no way to hide it.
Suggest a solution
The ability to hide the Title column of tables just like all other columns can be hidden.

Would be nice if we could have a setting to "turn off 'build title from fields' in tables"
Background: I prefer to see the "challenge" in the title on daily basis (when I see individual nodes), but it's very much redundant in a table (exercise overview), where I'd rather just see it in the column rather than the node. This gets exacerbated if you build titles from multiple fields
