Bug Description

In the add product form, name and displayname fields need to be made more intelligent.

Name should be forced to lowercase, Additionally, the most common case is for display name to be an uppercased version of the name. This could be made clearer and simplified if there was some javascript that copied the content from name to display name (properly capitalized).

Not forcing the name to lowercase is what causes us to currently report the very unhelpful "Constraint not satisfied" error when entering a new product with an uppercase name.
