For this particular build the client will frequently be creating 3 similar, but unique, types of content all housed in the same section which differ by a Content Type. When creating "quick post" widgets for the dashboard, each widget is currently given the same name despite the corresponding Entry Type. I don't necessarily need granular control over the title, but a way to provide additional context to the administrators would be nice.

I believe the answer to this is "no" but I wanted to raise the issue just incase. – Tyler Willingham Jul 12 '14 at 3:59

Did it work the plugin? – Jordan Cortes Jul 13 '14 at 6:09

This should definitely be something that one should be able to do without having to rely on a JS hack. Maybe they'll update the widget! – Selvin Ortiz Jul 13 '14 at 9:46

I haven't tried the plugin yet. I want to use that as a last resort. It seems like a simple solution to implement but I don't want to rely on JS if I don't have to. – Tyler Willingham Jul 13 '14 at 17:37
You can use this Control Panel JS plugin to change the info.
Just copy the cpjs
folder in the craft/plugins/
folder and the plugin should appear in Settings->Plugins
. Install it and add your code in the textarea displayed at the bottom.
Now with your title:
In the dashboard, each widget has an ID like widget1
, widget2
, etc; get it with the dev tools.
Then try the following code changing the corresponding widget number:
document.getElementById("widget1").childNodes[3].innerHTML = "new_title";
