I'm not sure I like that much either, since I have to set two things
to the values.

if jobject.metadata.get('title', ''):
    self._title.props.text = jobject.metadata['title']
    self._title_entry.props.text = jobject.metadata['title']
else
    self._title.props.text = _('Untitled')
    self._title_entry.props.text = _('Untitled')

Hence, the reason to use a variable instead. Do you prefer this?
