Hide product name on invoice ( just have description)

Question

I am looking to modify the invoice template in odoo 18.0+e
I want invoices printed to pdf for customers to only have description for the products used not include the name ( which is the part number)

For example now a product line on an invoice is as follows:
[9317114872074] APP0141
ISO TO SUIT TOYOTA 	 ​ 	 ​ 	 ​1.00 	 ​ 	 ​ 	 ​ 	 ​22.72 	 ​ 	 ​ $ 22.72
i just want it to say the following on the customer invoice:

ISO TO SUIT TOYOTA 	 ​ 	 ​ 	 ​1.00 	 ​ 	 ​ 	 ​ 	 ​22.72 	 ​ 	 ​ $ 22.72
And also

Hi,
1. Locate the invoice template view in Settings > Technical > Views > report_invoice_document.
2. Modify the view to replace the product name. Refer to the below screenshot.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do the same thing. I have Odoo 19.
I don't want to display my Product name, I only want to display the description which I fill in manually in the field after selecting a product..
However, I can't do that.
The field is already 'not required' in technical, but when you don't choose a product, you receive an error when saving the quotation.
It will also work for me of it's just hidden on the generated quotation .pdf.
I kindly request if anyone was able to figure this o

Thanks for that. I did this but it still shows the reference and the product name above the description for me so not sure what to do
