Yes, some method of Item Title updating (refresh or re-calc that forces a Title Update) is needed.

As a stop gap this will work:

Create an Attribute [Update_Title] (Category = Update, no KW, no Auto-Complete).

Assign this Attribute to the Template of the Items you wish to re-Title.

Add this string to the end of the Title Expression for the Item's Template:

|| trim(coalesce([Update_Title],''))

Search for (Item) is (Template - chose from pick list), or if all the Items are in the same location - select all Items.

From the IA Pane (Ctrl-4) add a space character to the [Update_Title] Attribute and the selected Items will be re-titled.

The space character will be trimmed out of the returned Title Expression, or no value will be returned for new Items (or delete the string from the Title Expression and the [Update_Title] Attrribute after usage).

If an Info Item was used in the Title Expression for the Item (previously returned node ID) this will "pull in" the Item Title value for the Info Item portion of the Title Expression.

EDIT: spelling
