I am getting the same issue. My titles are all not reflecting my SEO field, too.

May 2021, and I'm still having this issue. Awesome.

I am able to change at the field level settings (for the SEO field that gets added to each page) but not in the CP settings. What is the purpose of having SEO settings in the CP?? I find this terribly confusing.

@laurabennett For one; situations where you want to output SEO data in templates that aren't used by entries.

It would be really helpful to make that more clear in the documentation. I didn't even realize at first that there was default settings at the field level and so kept making changes in CP settings and nothing changes...
