List Instance FieldRef for Title Column missing from Site Template

Expected behavior

ListInstance/FieldRef element should be in template for Title column that is renamed at list level

Actual behavior

No FieldRef for Title in ListInstance definition, so column display name is "Title" in a site provisioned from template, rather than display name from source site

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Create Site Content Type that includes a Title site column (from Item content type)
2. Add Content Type to a List Instance
3. Rename Title on List Instance Content Type to change Display Name of Title column for that list
4. Run Get-PnPSiteTemplate and examine FieldRefs for ListInstance

What is the version of the Cmdlet module you are running?

1.5.0

Which operating system/environment are you running PnP PowerShell on?

• Windows
• PowerShell Core 7.1.3

Workaround

Manually add a FieldRef for the Title column to the ListInstance in the template file with the required DisplayName attribute
