Hi Satish,

Greetings to you!

You can't remove the Required field but you can hide that.
1) Change the field type from Name to Auto Number.
2) Now in the Page layout remove that name field.

I hope it helps you.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future. It will help to keep this community clean.

Thanks and Regards,
Khan Anas
