Do I need a flow to accomplish this?

I have a folder system that I can use to create a part in sharepoint. I am having problems with the name column which I want to be named based off of the inputs of symbol, year and sequence number. The problem is all these variables are initialized at the same time with name being required to be filled out. Also, I can not edit the name column(but all others can be edited) and I do not know if I can use automate to edit it before submitting this part

    Hey @zajacjos 

     

    Thats the required column of your sharepoint list. Before it must have been named as Title. 

    If you see the list settings you can see its a required column.

    Now how to remove it as required:

     

    On the right upper side of the screen you will be seeing a gear icon, click on that, then click on the list settings:

    Now you will see a list of columns like this. Just click on the title column or Name in your case.

    And change the column settings Require that this column contains information: to No

    After this scroll down and you will see an OK button on right side. Click on that to make changes.

    This how you can just make the column as not required. 

     

    Now come back to your list. And click on Add Column and click on show/hide columns.

    After this just untick the title or name column in your case, and click on apply. Now the column will be removed. And you can add a new column according to your needs. You can also add the ID column which will act as a primary column for your list if you want.

    I hope this helps. 🙂
