Thanks that helped. I was looking in that file but for some reason just was not able to put two and two together. In case any one is looking, the solution is in the line:
Code:
$label = $op_data['name'] . ':' . ($op_data['instructions'] != '' ? '<br><span class="smallText">' . $op_data['instructions'] . '</span>'
Because there are multiple instances of that line, the key is figuring out which one applies to your specific configuration. In my case (applying the attributes to parent products and then allowing them to repeat for sub products) was the final instance of the above mentioned line. Then all I had to do was add an inline style to the span tag like so...
Code:
style="display: none;"
and viola! Thanks again!
