My company is implementing QMS and we are a bit confused about records. We will not have many, some minutes, and similar. We would just like to confirm that all records need to have: title, date, author, reference number (unique identifier)? Approval just for those we decide that need to have approval? Thank you!

First, please check this article - List of mandatory documents required by ISO 9001:2015 - https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/list-of-mandatory-documents-required-by-iso-90012015/ where you can find a list of mandatory records required by the standard.
Second, please check clause 7.5.2 a) of ISO 9001:2015 about identification and control of documents. Title, date, author or reference number are just examples. Your organization does not need to use all of them at the same time.
