Description

The name field of mappers is often redundant and restates the data stored in the mapper. It should not be required for creating a mapper.

Research direction

Start by locating the mapper creation API and its request or model definition, then inspect how the name field is currently validated or required. Check for existing mapper-related tests and update them to cover creation without a name; done means a mapper can be created when name is omitted while existing behavior remains intact.
