Is there a way to put something like {Title} in a text field and have the contents of the Title metadata field displayed? I am looking for a solution that does not involve scripting. Thanks.
If by “text field” you mean in a delimited text file outside Photoshop, and by “displayed” you mean as a type layer in each Photoshop document, then this might be possible using the Variables feature.

If you want to enter the text into the metadata of the image itself, and then have that text displayed over the image, I don’t think there is a way Photoshop can do it. But if the images are loaded into Lightroom Classic, the LR/Mogrify plug-in can display the text of a metadata field over the exported copy of an image, and it can export those in bulk:

(scroll down to the description of Mogrify Text Annotation)
In your example, you would add the metadata token {title} when setting up the plug-in, so that it would show the text from the Title metadata field.
