This is my first post on the forum, and I hope i am not asking something that is overly easy to do. I have searched and am not sure how to go about doing this. what I want is an attribute added to each product that is a drop-down box. I can get the attribute added, but the problem is, I want the attribute only shown in the back end of Zen Cart and hidden from the customer and also not show up on invoices etc.... the goal is to have a few simple dropdowns in the backend that will allow us to select primary, secondary, and tertiary distributors for a certain product when adding the product to the store.

An help would be appreciated. Thanks
