Hi, can anyone tell me where I can change the title of the custom field instead of generating an ID? 

 
Kindly see the screenshot in the above link.

That is because your module has't name field and don't define a _rec_name to use another field as the display name of the record. 

If you don't have one to use you could always use create_date or write_date like:

class your_model(models.Model):
_name = 'your.model'
_rec_name = 'write_date'

Thanks. I think this is exactly what I was looking for, but as I just created this module through Studio, so will I be able to see that module in my Odoo path on the server? Thanks alot.

I don't thinks so, the Odoo studio will just directly create the model directly in the database as a customized model without creating a physical file for the model or views

_rec_name

Alternative field to use as name, used by osv’s name_get() (default: 'name')

example :print current date

class model_name(models.Model):

    _name = 'your.model' / _inherit = 'modal_name'

     _rec_name = 'your_field' / example rec_name="start_date"

   start_date = fields.Date(default=time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))

Thanks, but as Axel said above, I was unable to find the module I created through Odoo Studio. So I don't think I can make changes to the default name.
