Hidden Attributes - Showing as Catalog Filters

Post by MattWoodward » 01 Apr 2022, 04:05

I created some hidden attributes recently for a couple of products that required extra information when the were being processed, but that shouldn't even be shown on the front end.

During testing I noticed that the hidden attributes are shown under the filters for products on the catalogue pages? Surely this shouldn't be the case if hidden attributes are not meant to be accessible from the front end?

Hidden attributes are not shown in the frontend but are stored along with the ordered product. You can use them to pass data to the fulfillment or any other backend system that shouldn't be displayed to customers.

Use this setting to limit the attribute types that are shown in the frontend:

The catalog filter component doesn't know if you use that attribute type as hidden attribute at the product or not.
