There are several issues that arise when a field from the saved node and nid is used as a token in the autonodetitle. I have attempted to create resave rules using rules to limited success. The main issue is saving nodes which references another node, and the referencing nodes autonodetitle contains the title of the referenced node. If the referenced node is not saved correctly than the referencing nodes title will wrong. It takes multiple resaves.

I suggest a configurable resave option for each content type. In some cases resaves need to be run more than once. In my case at least two in order to get the field content and nid correctly in the title. The option should be "resave node on submit of new content" and then another field to specify how many times to run the resave. These options should be independent of content type.

The goal would be that as soon as node node is created the system will resave the node a user specified amount of times.

Possible in 6x?

Another thing::

I discovered the "update automatic node titles" option under "update options" on the "content" page. Is this the functionality I am seeking?

Also, if it is, is there an automated means to perform this update task for a specific content type(s), a la a cron run?

Ideally this update process would run on the saving of new content type for the specified content type. What would be the best approach using VBO?

Possible?

Any solution on how to get autonodetitles to work with nodereferences? I have a content type who's autonodetitle includes the title of the node it is referencing. Currently, when I save this content type, it doesn't include the referenced node's title, it's just blank.

Is this a setting's issue or does it require a rules module approach?

Or does it have something to do with the tokens I am using in my autonodetitle. Currently, I have token set as the field name of the nodereference field of the content type itself, should it instead be the token of the title field of the content type its referencing?
