Key variable returned as length 1 character from event_data('plotly_click')

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I'm using plotly within a Shiny app. I'm using a geom_tile() heatmap type of graph and the user should be able to click a box which then triggers a follow-up database query. I followed the solution here: https://community.plot.ly/t/how-to-return-the-same-event-data-information-for-selected-points-even-after-modifying-the-data/5847/2

However, this doesn't seem to work for a geom_tile() click. I create a key variable by pasting the label and month of the clicked box together. The key is always returned as a length 1 character instead of returning the full string. Full reprex below:

library(plotly)
library(shiny)

mtcars$key <- row.names(mtcars)
mtcars$col <- "black"
mtcars$name <- row.names(mtcars)

ui <- fluidPage(
  plotlyOutput("plot")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$plot <- renderPlotly({
    p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = gear, y = name, key = key)) + 
      geom_tile(aes(fill = mpg, key = key))
    ggplotly(p) 
  })
  
  observeEvent(event_data("plotly_click"), {
    click_data <- event_data("plotly_click")
    print(click_data)
   
  })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Comienza con el reprex de R/Shiny proporcionado, centrándote en geom_tile() y event_data("plotly_click") dentro del observador de plotly_click. Sigue cómo se transfiere la variable key para los clics en los tiles y verifica el resultado comparándolo con la cadena completa esperada del nombre de la fila, en lugar de con un valor de caracteres de longitud uno.
