Well correct me if wrong, but master seem very much bleeding edge and therefor perhaps not ideal for automatic builds ?

Would it be possible to have these fixes merged into the 1.39+ branches ?

You're right tokens was a red herring, my apologies. The fix work like a charm, many thanks!

Your filed definition works fine in my setup (pagename is saved). Running git-master version of pageforms. I however only have 100+ entries in my category.

@YOUR1 that is not the behavior we are experiencing. The title is only displayed in the form whereas it's value (the actual pagename) is saved.
What version of Pageform are you using ?

All though my programming skill are rusty to say the least I'm quite certain this solves the problem. May I kindly ask someone to have a look ?
