Default Removing Some Variants and Keeping Others

Hey guys I need help,

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to remove some Variants from the drop down selections, but keeping them in the specifications.

I know there is a way to do it, because on the X-Cart demo page it shows a product with some options as selected and the rest in Tech Specs: http://demostore.x-cart.com/layered_navigation/apple-iphone-5c.html

I looked in the backend and it was able to remove those variants to not be displayed, but for the life of me I can't figure out how and it is not in any documentation.

No sweat, these should not be setup as variants, rather they are simple attributes. Just choose Plain Field as the attribute type, and then don't put in more than one value.

That did it....So by default, a multi tier Attribute is "converted" into a Variant.....Works good now

Thanks so much

Default CSS Bug

By the way there is a CSS bug on the Groups. The dotted lines for the group text should either not be there or not run into the words.
