    Just replied to a similar thread (did not realize I somehow started 2 threads with the same issue?).  

     

    This thread has the answer.  It has to do with converting to TopoJSON using MapShaper.org, not on the QGIS side.

     

    Thank you for the follow-up.

Hi DanH,

 

It seems that you have post your issue in the link below

Have you solve this by this reply?

Try opening the entire “Shapefile”, which is actually a compressed folder with multiple files such as .shp, .dbf, etc. in it. If you open the shp only, you only get the shapes, but the data/keys are actually contained in the dbf.

 

Regards,

Charlie Liao
