Apex Class setting Opportunity Close Date

Question

I am trying to remove the section of the apex class that references the close date but I am getting an error that record creation failed when selecting my button. Do you have any suggestions?

{public class New_Clinical_Opp_Controller { @AuraEnabled public static string createClinicalOpportunity(Id AccountrecId) { String returnValue = ''; List oppList = new List(); Opportunity oppObject = new Opportunity();

    oppObject.Name = 'Do Not Delete'; 
    oppObject.AccountId = AccountrecId; 
    oppObject.RecordTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Opportunity.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Clinical').getRecordTypeId(); 
    oppObject.StageName = 'Qualification'; 

    Date closeDate = system.today(); 
    closeDate = closeDate.addMonths(6);
oppObject.CloseDate = closeDate;

    oppList.add(oppObject);
    if(!oppList.isEmpty())
{
Database.SaveResult[] a = Database.insert(oppList, false);
if(a[0].isSuccess())
{
  returnValue = oppList[0].id;
}
else
{
  returnValue =  'failure';
}
}

    return returnValue;

}

}

CloseDate is a required field for all Opportunities. It's one of those things that we can't change.

So, you can't really remove that particular piece of code. You can change it to be something else but, one way or another, CloseDate must be set.
