How can I disable the 'Default Title' field for products without variants?

[Helpshop]

Trying to remove an unnecessary field for products that don't have a variant. My products with variants are fine, it's the products that don't have any variants have a required field 'Option1' populate 'title' with a dropdown value of 'Default Title'

I exported the products and see the fields:

Option1 Name

Option1 Value

I read they are mandatory fields and if I have a product without variants I should set the fields to

Option1 Name	Option1 Value
Title	Default Title

When I do that the 'Title' dropdown with 'Default Title' is displaying on my phone. When I adjust the text the from Title and Default Title it updates the text to whatever I typed.

Are there any ways to disable this field or set it to not populate for products that do not have any variants.

Thank you!

For future reference for anyone else:

When you export products with variant information from Shopify, if you include the information on the variant options in the spreadsheet, the Option1 Name column will show "Title" and the Option1 Value column will show "Default Title" for those products that don't actually have variants. You can just ignore those in the spreadsheet. You don't need to do anything about them.

On the other hand, if you are in the Shopify admin and you actually see "Title" as a variant option and "Default Title" as a variant, then you will want to delete that variant from the product. You can delete variants on the product page like this:
