Declaratively remove Title column from a Content Type in Share Point with RemoveFieldRef

As Title column is a part of Item Content Type in SharePoint, this column will be added by default to all the content types inherited from Item Content Type. To declaratively remove a column from a content type, RemoveFieldRef element can be used in a Content Type’s declaration.

Points to Consider

1. Ensure that Inherits attribute is set to False in the declaration of Content Type

2. Add a RemoveFieldRef element in FieldRefs segment of content type with Name set to Title and ID set to {fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}
