Description
The ggplotly boxplot hover values not supporting ggplot scale transformation. They incorrectly apply the transormation to the hover values instead of leaving them as is. This is related to the closed issue (#804) and open issue (#1581).
library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)
plot <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(cut, price)) +
geom_boxplot() +
scale_y_continuous(trans = "sqrt", limits = c(0, 25000))
ggplotly(plot)

Research direction
Start by running the provided R example with ggplot2 and plotly, then compare the boxplot tooltip values with the original price values and the sqrt-transformed axis. Read the related issues #804 and #1581 for context; done means tooltips preserve the original values while the scale remains transformed.
