Is there a way to remove the product name (title) validation in admin who check if the name is already exist?
I know this is not good at all, but I have unique case in OC3 and I need to use same product name for few products.

Regards

Hi, I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to have products with the same names, this is a wish/requirement of the store owner. The store has a small audience and is for second-hand items, some of which must have the same name and will be differ only by a model number and URL. I fully understand that this is not a good practice for users, SEO, etc., but that is the requirement.
Is there are way to skip this validation by product name and have products with the same names?

you mean the meta tag title. not the product name?

What about adding the model number to the product title?

And then if really necessary, hiding that in the template?

No, I mean exactly the main product title field... not meta title.

If, I add the model number to the product title, then the products will not have the same titles. This is not what I'm looking for.

You're free to have duplicate product names in default OC3 if you wish.

Thank you! I didn't try that. This is OK for me.

As far as I can see, neither the title, nor the name are checked/prevented from having duplicates, only seo keywords are.
