I would like to use a Date field as the record title
You cannot specify a Date field as the Record title.
Fields that can be specified as the Title field
However, you can use a Calculated or Text field, which can be specified as the Record title, to display the content of a Date field as the Record title.
To do so, you need to set a formula to display the content of a Date field in a Calculated or Text field, and then specify the field as the Record title.
The detailed steps are as follows.
Steps to use a "Calculated" field
-
Check the field code of the Date field you want to display as the Record title.
-
Place a Calculated field, then click Settings from the gear-shaped Settings icon at the top right of the field.

Enter the field code of the Date field, which you have checked in Step 1, in the Formula input field.
Select Date (Aug 06, 2012) as the display format.

Steps to use a "Text" field
