It is my understanding that a Prototype would be of help when creating many similar Products (all with the same properties).
As such its use should be optional. Ie one either creates a product from a prototype (link from the prototype) or not, in which case the prototype is not relevant.

Or to be precise: The prototype is irrelevant to a product. It is only helpful in _creating_ the product.

I get Prototype can't be blank
when trying to create a Product without a prototype. But imo it should be ok.
