CCK handler titles are fairly long : "Content: Field label (field_name)"
Both label and name informations are important to let the user pick its fields, filters... : most users know their fields by the human readable label - otoh, several fields can have the same label, and two different instances of the same field can have different labels (we pick one to generate the handler title)

Those long titles are awkward in the admin summaries, though.

Attached patch lets exposed data define a 'title_short' along with the existing 'title', and uses it in admin summaries if available.
CCK would then only display 'Content: Field label' in admin summaries.

+1 from me on this, those long names get really messy :)

+1 but probably 'title short' as I avoid underscores in the definitions.

#3 seems to work great with the patch in comment #37 of #131953: Expose additional database columns to Views (not just 'value').

:)
