Hi @B1jam1 ,

Just wanna link your solution on other post, it seems related to this post.

> Hello again, I just found how to do so in the link you sent. Thank you very much! One simply has to enter \<extra\>\</extra\> at the end of the string given to the hovertemplate. As it is said in the documentation: Anything contained in tag \<extra\> is displayed in the secondary box. […] To hide the secondary box completely, use an empty tag \<extra\>\</extra\>. So in my first example, it can be removed with: hovertemplate = "Sample %{customdata[0]} \<extra\>\</extra\>". Thank you for your help!
