OK, upon looking at the awkward eBay listing tool itself, I see that they have eliminated most of the special attributes. Under ITEM DETAILS: they have only SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES & COUNTRY/REGION OF MANUFACTURE (with a drop down box). This is not a GS7 problem. So luckily I can use old templates to basically force the item specifics to appear in my listings, but I cannot change the attributes on any item specifics other than what I detailed above. I hope this helps some people.
