Problem dialing in retraction

I've had a heck of time dialing in retracting for my Sapphire Plus printer. No matter what I sat the retraction value to for extruder 1, it didn't make any difference to the print. I even rebuild the hot-end, thinking it was a hardware build issue.
Nothing worked.

Then I looked through the gcode. I have retraction set to 6mm. But nowhere can i find retraction value anywhere near that. I do however see comments for wipe start and wipe ends.
So I tried superslicer (as it's build on prusa slicer) just for a comparison. In the gcode generated by that, I see no wipe section, and I do see the E-6 retraction commands as expected. Moreover, the model printed flawlessly. All stringing is completely gone now.

So my question, what am I missing in PrusaSlicer since the retraction value doesn't appear to get set correctly in the resulting gcode?
How can I tune the wipe that happens (I only have one extruder, and there are no filament changes in the model)?

Forgot to mention, I'm on Prusa Slicer 2.4, and Super Slicer v. 2.3.57.7
