I've applied the patch [1] to token module to enable fields token.
Auto_nodetitle works correctly except if the value of the token field is empty and the token string is displayed (i.e. [node:field-name:value] instead of empty string)
In attachment a patch fix this behaviour.

I'm not sure the 'clear' options is really the right solution here, shouldn't the token be provided but be empty?

Patch doesn't install-- "Hunk #1 FAILED at 129."

Manually installing the patch renders a blank title when token fields are inserted.

No, this is what the clear option is for. Tokens do not and should not return anything if they do not have data. For example, if you have a token like [node:field_noderef:title] with a node that has no node reference data, this would burden the token code to have to pass something into the 'chained' token replacement for a node reference field so that something could be returned.

I had over 6 thousand nodes to update with this, so I went into the database via phpmyadmin and executed SQL to get rid of these. I found out if you import your content with Feeds, these tokens show up in the title.

SQL I used:

UPDATE node_revision SET title = replace(title,'[node:field-cinfo-mname] ','');
UPDATE node_revision SET title = replace(title,'[node:field-cinfo-fname] ','');

I'm not sure if that's the cause, but after I update the Token module to 1.6 this behavior is happening again.

Thanks for this. This is already in the Dev branch. I have rerolled the patch for 7.x-1.0 for people not using dev branch.

Re #11, I'm using this with Token 1.6 with no issues.

Using patch #12 to ANT 7.x-1.0 with Token 7.x-1.6 . Behavior for empty tokens appears to be correct.
