Hiding fields triggers product form validation warning
The required model field cannot be hidden, and hiding other fields triggers a form validation warning on save.

What's going wrong
Shop owners who hide unused product fields are left with a validation warning on the product form, and some asked whether the model field could be hidden. They found the model field is required by the validation system, so it stays visible. The result is a product form that still asks for fields a store does not use, and a warning that gives no clear cause. A fix would be a form validator that explains which required field blocks a save and offers safe defaults for hidden fields.
