Find all fields with incorrect title and fix them to stop users eyes from bleeding.

Introduction

If you create fields without spaces in a name then there is a big chance that you forget about setting its title.

Then users will see something like this:

Not a big deal? Maybe but I am perfectionist and I could not leave it without any action.

Summary

I use Powershell almost everyday. Many times I had a situation when I knew that I wrote something but it is gone or hidden somewhere.

That’s why I’ve decided to create a repository with all my scripts (SitecorePowerShellLibrary).

Right now, it’s kinda empty, but collection will grow.

If you follow me on twitter @AlanPloc you are safe, because I am going to link all new scripts there. In case you are not using twitter to follow people you can follow github project or add my blog to your feed reader.
