Description
There are cases when we may not want to display the "Label" for a config option field, or when we may want to display the Config Option Group name.
Let's discuss, but this is what I'm proposing:
- Add 2 fields when creating/editing a Configurable Option Group (Display Group Name, and Display Option Labels) For compatibility, the 1st would not be checked by default, but the second would.
- Update the order forms to recognize this change, and display the group name if required, or omit the field labels if required.
Use Case
See the attached screenshot. It is often desirable to have a single label for checkboxes. For example:
Software (The label, here it's the Config Option Group name)
[ ] DirectAdmin
[ ] KernelCare
[ ] Softaculous
[ ] CloudLinux
Currently we have the label and the option, and it takes up more vertical space and we have a lot of repetition in the naming.
Activity
What if the package group just had a single option for whether to hide config option labels and display them under a label for the package group? Do you need 2 settings for displaying the group name and displaying the option labels? I imagine one setting would suffice. That setting could then be checked by the pricing presenter to see if the package option label should be replaced by the package group name instead, and I think that would more-or-less complete this task (after also updating the package option UI).

A single option that toggles it from displaying the option labels or the group would probably be fine. I can't think of any use cases off the top of my head where we would necessarily want to show both the group name and the option labels within the group.

In the order summary it would be ideal if it also showed the Group Name - Option Name instead of Label - Option Name.
e.g.
Software - DirectAdmin
Instead of:
DirectAdmin - DirectAdmin
