Not all objects have names, so would be good to be able to have a Set in which the primary relation is something else.

For example, if I’m tracking runs, it makes sense to use the date as primary relation (and have no Name relation).

> @thiago_nascimentodf Opa! Yeah, I’d be happy to have them be named “Untitled” (as long as I eventually can pick a different Relation to be shown on top as the title when opening the object - in my run example, I’d prefer the title to be the date; or even better, something like “Run for 2021/03/12”, where the date Relation is inline in the title). @lynxlove Does every Set need to have a primary Relation? In that case, either solution you mentioned is good. Allowing to pick a different Relation …

Throwing my support behind this one. It feels a little silly to be forced to either make up an arbitrary title, or have a completely empty field in the set.

I’m in. Seems a pointless waste of space to have a column for “Untitled”. Temporarily I’m going to name all my items “Open”. 😉

+1  
For collection more than set.  
Because if we just wan a datatable, the Name relation is mandatory and must be displayed, which poses a problem.  
And a simple table doesn’t allow you to do much (especially the current version…).

In fact, we can try to hide this (set an icon as name for example), but this remains a useless field in some cases, which Anytype imposes.
