Courses Plus Student 401 PointsWhy does my portfolio titles become "Auto Draft" instead of a title of my choosing?
When I add a new portfolio piece under the post_type "Portfolio" the name/title of this portfolio piece become "Auto Draft" instead of whatever I want. Why is this happening?

I think this is causing the problem - I solved it by editing the CPT, opening its settings and under 'Supports' checking off the 'Title' checkbox. This made it work. Seems like this may have been a default setting when the video was made, but now is a necessary.
