Hello everyone, I have a px.choropleth\_mapbox that looks as follows:

```auto
fig = px.choropleth_mapbox(df, geojson=geo, locations='id', color='a', featureidkey="properties.cca_2",
                           hover_name = 'Location_Name', hover_data = ['a','b', 'c'],

```

What I want is to display the three items in hover\_data:

```auto
hover_data = ['a', 'b', 'c'] 

```

But in the hover boxes I always get:

```auto
'Location_Name'

'id'
'a'
'b'
'c'

```

It is the same id that is used to match the data with the geojson and specified in ` locations='id'`

How can I get rid off the `id `in my hover box? I noticed that it confuses my users more than it helps them with anything.

Hi @Pololnger,

try this:

```auto
fig = px.choropleth_mapbox(df, geojson=geo, locations='id', color='a', featureidkey="properties.cca_2",
                           hover_name = 'Location_Name', hover_data = {'a':True,'b':True, 'c':True, 'id':False}

```

it is written in the help:

```auto
hover_data: list of str or int, or Series or array-like, or dict
    Either a list of names of columns in `data_frame`, or pandas Series, or
    array_like objects or a dict with column names as keys, with values
    True (for default formatting) False (in order to remove this column**
    from hover information)**, or a formatting string, for example ':.3f' or
    '|%a' or list-like data to appear in the hover tooltip or tuples with a
    bool or formatting string as first element, and list-like data to
    appear in hover as second element Values from these columns appear as
    extra data in the hover tooltip.

```

hope this helps , Alex-
