SharePoint List Title Column Lookup

I have a Modern SharePoint list detailing test capabilities. I've currently hidden the 'Title Column' and used another column with a drop down box to ensure consistency in naming convention. When searching my site it only returns the Title column contents. I would like the Title column to lookup my other column and display that data. Is this possible? 

 

I've tried to use Flow but it alters other fields within my list that gives undesirable results. 

 

Thanks

    Hi jawilson,

     

    You will not be able to change the Title column to another column type, i.e. Lookup or Calculated.

     

    Using a Flow should work to update the Title column. 

     

     

    I hope this helps.
