Remove Required Product Name Field

My product names are generated automatically after I did some tweaking to the code.

I want to remove the product name field from my admin area. As the field is required I don't know how to remove it.

Could someone please tell me how to remove the product name field or make it not required.

Thanks, Keiron

If you does not want to make it mandatory. Assuming you get around php code you could remove the validation in the product controller (admin). Have not tested but i guess it should work.

In the product controller file

change:
if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['name']) < 3) || (utf8_strlen($this->request->post['name']) > 25)) {
$json['error'] = $this->language->get('error_name');
}

to

//if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['name']) < 3) || (utf8_strlen($this->request->post['name']) > 25)) {
// $json['error'] = $this->language->get('error_name');
// }
