css not working in node reference view
Can you get the regular node title to show up? Is the node title important? I am wondering if Automatic Entity Label could help you at all. Formerly Auto Node Title. https://drupal.org/project/auto_entitylabel‎
You may want to look at Rules and VBO. Creating a Rules Component "Action Set" and adding it to a Views Bulk Operations could handle this use case. Make sure you set the permissions properly when you create the Action Set (there is a collapsed field set called "Settings" when you edit a Rules Component that contains permissions settings for each Component)
