WooCommerce variable products display the list of attributes and their terms in the “Additional Information” tab on the single product page. For example, it will display “Color: red, yellow” and “Size: large, small” if your variable product uses those attribute terms to generate variations.
Yes, you could completely remove the “Additional Information” tab all together, but sometimes you may need to just hide a specific attribute in this table, for whatever reason. Especially when you want to avoid your customers getting confused and abandoning your website.
So, here’s the fix. Enjoy!
PHP Snippet: Hide 1 Attribute Row @ Additional Information Tab’s Attributes Table
Note – I’m hiding the color attribute, so in the snippet I use the “attribute_pa_color” key. If you wish to target a different attribute, change that key accordingly.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_display_product_attributes', 'bbloomer_exclude_attribute_from_attribute_table', 9999, 2 );
function bbloomer_exclude_attribute_from_attribute_table( $product_attributes, $product ) {
if ( isset( $product_attributes[ 'attribute_pa_color' ] ) ) unset( $product_attributes[ 'attribute_pa_color' ] );
return $product_attributes;
}
Hi Is there a way to add an attribute to a product in the back end but not show this option on the front end for the customer to choose?
So the attribute is just an admin option

Simply don’t check the “Used for variations” checkbox in the Attributes tab
