Sounds like a duplicate of #4759, which has been fixed for the next release.

I'm seeing this kind of error on my new installed Craft version. I don't even see the Title input field on creating on Entry.

@ljfreelancer88 check your section’s settings – what is your Entry URI Format?

The Title field can be hidden if you had disabled it from your section’s entry type settings.

I've got this issue when making an searchPage entry / section.
then trying to create an entry for this.

This is on loading the new entry page.

I seem to be experiencing a similar problem, my URI format is "section/{slug}". It used to be that if an entry had the same title(there are a lot of Untitled titles) it would have a slug like "untitled-2". Some even seem to have "untitled-1-34" and so forth. It seems I've reached some sort of limit or perhaps something changed in an update?

[brandonkelly]

@Moucky Have you set a custom maxSlugIncrement config setting value?

[Moucky]

I haven't @brandonkelly, thanks for the suggestion. I'd say that's the problem. Is it possible to have no limit or should I just set it to a very high number?

[brandonkelly]

It’s 100 by default. You can set it as high as you want. It just takes a little time to keep checking for a unique slug.

Thanks so much, that's solved the issue for me.
