Knowing about the title type when registering a DOI in DataCite Fabrica

[paulvierkant]

What is the problem that your suggestion solves?

I'm always confused and feel guilty not knowing which title type I should choose when just adding the main title. I then just skip it and add the language of the title.

What solution might meet your needs?

When I looked it up in our documentation it says: "Definition: The type of Title (other than the Main Title)."https://datacite-metadata-schema.readthedocs.io/en/4.5/properties/title/#a-titletype
It would be good if either you add the "(other than the Main Title) to the label, or even better if the type drop-down was only shown if the user clicks on the button "add another title" which implies that these titles are not the main title.
