  1. Hi Johann,
    You can add a new condition $block->getProduct()->getTypeId() == ‘configurable’ and then hide an attribute.

  2. Hi! I need help hiding an attribute from configurable product in admin, but I want it to be visible in simple products.
    Also, I don’t know to which files you are referring to in the tutorial. Sorry! I’m a Magento newbie.
    Thank you!

  3. Prajakta,
