Requirement – created a custom record by not including the standard Name field. Created a custom field in that record for storing names. The standard Name field is not included as the name is not mandatory for the custom record and the standard Name field is mandatory if included.

Solution – Create a workflow to populate the value in the custom name field to the standard name field.
