Cart Merchandise attribute field is showing in checkout page: it should be configurable

[theocerutti]

Hello,

When we add something to the cart we are also attaching custom attributes.

For example here: we are adding if the user has added the product from a trending collection.
That way in our cart page we are able to display a different UI for products added from that collection.

          cartFormInput: JSON.stringify({
            action: ...
            inputs: {
              ....
              attributes: [
                {
                  key: 'trendingCollection',
                  value: `${isTrendingCollection}`,
                },
              ],
            },
          }),

However! Theses attributes are showing in the checkout page even if we don't want!

I think it would be nice to have a field showInCheckout: boolean to tell to Shopify to show attribute or not.

This would be a feature request for checkout and the Storefront API, there's not much we can do at the moment in Hydrogen I think. I'll pass this request internally.

For now, you might want to implement this feature in a different way. Perhaps you can save this information in the user browser's localStorage or something similar? I know it's not ideal but at least that might do the trick temporarily.

@theocerutti That said, can you try naming your attributes with an underscore at the beginning? Something like _trendingCollection. That might hide it in checkout, not sure.
