[scopes] attributes dont show without title

[Kyle Nitzsche]

I want to display category attributes but not titles (for the number of Likes under each picture in Facebook Photos scope).

But, it seems attributes do not display unless I add a title component.

So with this catrenderer, attributes do NOT display:

{
    "schema-version" : 1,
    "template" : {
        "category-layout" : "grid",
        "card-size": "small"
    },
    "components" : {
        "art" : "art",
        "attributes": "attrs"
    }
}

And with this one attributes DO display:
{
    "schema-version" : 1,
    "template" : {
        "category-layout" : "grid",
        "card-size": "small"
    },
    "components" : {
        "title": "title",
        "art" : "art",
        "attributes": "attrs"
    }
}

with "title" component, so attributes show

[Michi Henning (michihenning)]

The title component is mandatory, so this really is no surprise.

One suggestion would be to map the title component to a field that is empty or contains a blank. That might do what you want?

[Kyle Nitzsche (knitzsche)]

The title field is already set to blank with this: catres.set_title("");

The problem with this is the unused vertical space where the title component is.

[Thomas Strehl (strehl-t)]

Setting the title blank cannot be a solution as we wouldn't want to change card layouts depending whether the title is blank or not, but rather by having the component available at all. Saviq, is it possible to make the title optional or would we rather need an entire new card?

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Per design, title is currently mandatory in cards.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Let me restate that. Title is mandatory in card *headers*, if there's no title, the header is blank.

[Paty Davila (dizzypaty)]

As part of the scope toolkit spec update, there will be design considerations for new cards layouts and/or changes in the arrangements of card components configuration. This work is in progress.

[Paty Davila (dizzypaty)]

This is part of a bigger redesign project (Scopes toolkit). Epic project card: https://canonical.leankit.com/Boards/View/109386535#workflow-view

However, and for the time being, we can make the header title optional.

since it's said this exist in another design project, I don't see reason we still track here.
