Apex Trigger

Hi,

 

Want to create an apex trigger that when an opportunity is saved it overwrites what a user has entered and puts the account name + a custom field. Can anyone help or give suggestions. Can this be applied to only certain opportunity types?

Is this something you could do with a workflow rule and field update?

I already have this built. But it does require them to enter at least something in the opportunity name before saving. As this is a required field. Is there a way around this?

The only way I've found around that is to override the page layout with Visualforce...and then don't display the name field on your custom page. A fairly extreme solution  with its own pitfalls ... so I'd only recommend doing that if absolutely required.
