There is no setting to do that. Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Feedback - Photos - Apple


There are AppleScripts that can add the capture date to the Title field. They are listed in the Thematic Index to Photos for Mac related User Tips webpage.


Script: Batch Changing the Title to the Capture Date

Batch Change Title to Capture Date-Description-Padded Sequential Numbers

Batch Change Title to Capture Date-Location-Description-Padded Sequential Number


These have worked in Ventura on Intel Macs but haven't been able to test them in Sonora. Give them a try and post back if they work.
