I am trying to create basic text swatches for an attribute (instead of dropdowns). I created an attribute (for example, "size"), set the "Catalog Input Type for Store Owner" to "Text Swatch" and entered all the swatch values. I then created a configurable product with this attribute but the frontend is still showing the options in a dropdown and not in text swatches.
I have tried changing the attribute to "visual swatch" and it still shows as a dropdown.
I have reindexed and flushed the cache but it the attribute choices still show as a dropdown.
Interestingly, the text swatches are showing up in the category page but the product page is still showing the dropdown (see images below).
I am using Magento 2.2.3 and I am not running any extensions and the code has not been changed. It is almost a fresh install.
How can I get the text swatches to show up instead of a dropdown?
Please help
