I have created two custom CCK content types. One type references the other. With the referenced content type, I want to set the titles to automated, but I do not what the automated titles to be what is displayed when the node is referenced, in the other content type.

One of the custom fields I have created is "Title" (like "movie title"). I would like the nodereference to display this value rather than the node's title. In other words, I do not what the node title displayed, I want the content of a specific custom field to be displayed.

Is this possible?

You can do this with the 'advanced views' mode in the node reference settings. Just pick a view that uses fields.

This has been requested before, see this issue #483156: Tokens for CCK fields within a node reference. Maybe that issue could be reopen for the 6.x-3.x branch. I solved a similar problem with Custom Tokens module in this issue #483156: Tokens for CCK fields within a node reference
