Description

plotly::ggplotly is basically ignoring the group argument of ggplot2::geom_line(), is there a way to 'solve' it?

iris |> 
  ggplot2::ggplot(ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Length,Petal.Length,color=Species))+
  ggplot2::geom_line(ggplot2::aes(group=1))

plotly::ggplotly(iris |> 
  ggplot2::ggplot(ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Length,Petal.Length,color=Species))+
  ggplot2::geom_line(ggplot2::aes(group=1)))

Research direction

Start with the provided R reproduction using plotly::ggplotly and ggplot2::geom_line(), then inspect how the group aesthetic is converted. Done means the resulting interactive plot respects group=1 instead of ignoring it, while preserving the example's colored Species lines.
