Hide New Environment Numbering

Question

The object of my question is learning how to remove the numbering that lies adjacent to a new environment after its been called while being able to reference the counter number later using \ref. I've been looking for answers but it seems that everyone wants this numbering while I don't. I understand that I can use \addtocounter{Problem}, but I'd like something automated so that I don't have to worry about that every section or chapter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{nameref}
\newcounter{Problem}[chapter]
\renewcommand{\theProblem}{\thechapter.\arabic{homework}}
  \newenvironment{Problem}[1][]{
    \refstepcounter{Problem}
    \paragraph{PROBLEM \theProblem~ #1}%
    }
    {
(end of problem)
    }%
\begin{document}

\chapter{New Chapter}

\begin{Problem}[A]

\label{Issue}
I want the problem number on the left to be hidden when using \nameref.
\end{homework}

I'm trying to hide the number when using \nameref{Issue}
\end{document}

I'm sorry, I forgot to include that I am trying to hide the problem number when using \nameref.

If you want that \nameref{Issue} just prints “PROBLEM A”, you have to redefine \@currentlabelname before \label is seen:

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{nameref}
\newcounter{Problem}[chapter]
\renewcommand{\theProblem}{\thechapter.\arabic{Problem}}

\makeatletter
\newenvironment{Problem}[1][]
  {\refstepcounter{Problem}%
   \paragraph{PROBLEM \theProblem~#1}%
   \def\@currentlabelname{PROBLEM~#1}}
  {(end of problem)}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\chapter{New Chapter}

\begin{Problem}[A]
\label{Issue}
I want the problem number on the left to be hidden when using \texttt{\string\nameref}.
\end{Problem}

I'm trying to hide the number when using \nameref{Issue}
\end{document}
