Only one topics args for event logs visible in the transaction receipt, instead of three expected

Question

I have a Smart Contrat where there is some events like bellow :

    MyContract {

   event CustomerDataSendingToSeller(address _seller, string _hasheCustomerData, uint256 _orderSeq);

     function SigneCustomerDataToSell(string _hasheCustomerData) public {

            require(seller != msg.sender);

            customer = msg.sender;

            DataExchangeSeq++;

            DataExchanges[DataExchangeSeq] = DataExchange(customer,_hasheCustomerData,0,0,DataExchangeSeq,0,Buyer(0,"0x",false,false),false);

            emit CustomerDataSendingToSeller(seller,_hasheCustomerData, DataExchangeSeq);

        }

}

Then I passed my the Smart Contract function as transaction after deployement, and I check the transaction receipt, I saw that there is only one args instead of my three args in the Smart Contract.

Here the output of the transaction receipt function : w3.eth.getTransactionReceipt(tx_hash)

        AttributeDict({
        'transactionHash':HexBytes('0xee50268e0c525cdee61fa58b1459a74915d7ac25ca72ebdb06065c3bd03a8f73'), 
        'transactionIndex': 0, 
        'blockHash':HexBytes('0x2ddd79c415277e02dc51c649f3463085a8043b87bb7067e3da81062cf608357c'), 
        'blockNumber': 97, 
        'gasUsed': 93882, 
        'cumulativeGasUsed': 93882, 
        'contractAddress': None, 
        'logs': 
          [AttributeDict({
          'logIndex': 0, 
          'transactionIndex': 0,         'transactionHash':0xee50268e0c525cdee61fa58b1459a74915d7ac25ca72ebdb06065c3bd03a8f73', 'blockHash':'0x2ddd79c415277e02dc51c649f3463085a8043b87bb7067e3da81062cf608357c', 'blockNumber': 97, 
'address': '0xAAe858AE95DE4eA7acE44Bc58bBB27C331e6dc0d',     'data':'0x0000000000000000000000000db7fec9d38cb5a3e789228f93ac0b27cb25d24d00000000000000, 
'topics': ['0xf9a97ac82c9d5863f1a327d99b2f678c53726ddea126435a5752717390af467b')], 'type': 'mined'})], 
'status': 1, 
'logsBloom':('0x0000000000004000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004')})

In the topics I should see my three hashed args, but only one is present and seems to be the hash of the event function itself, so why don't see the other ?

Thanks for help :)

Your parameters are added as topic only if they‘re indexed (see indexed keyword in Solidity). Otherwise the parameters are put into the data field.

The topic that you see is the signature of the event. You can add up to 3 indexed parameters, i.e. together with the signature of the event, you can have up to 4 topics.
