Hide Lower Level Configurator

We’re building a multi-level configurator and passing an option down to the lower levels via a global variable. However, all of the lower level parts are only configured by this one variable and driven by the same configurator. The end result is that the user configures the top level part and then has to click through the same screen displaying the global option multiple times for the lower level configurators to confirm and run. We made the field read-only so that the users can’t change it, but it’s still annoying.

Has anyone found a way around this? Some way to confirm and run the lower level configuration without actually displaying the screen?

Curious about the same thing, except I might want to hide a higher level configurator… e.g., for a sales kit composed of configurable items. If you don’t want to assign a part number for the parent, then it’s easy; just don’t give it a configurator. But if you do want to assign a part number, you must give it a product configurator, which must have at least one input or it can’t be approved. It can be a hidden input, but then the user just sees a blank configurator page…
