Events such as on_click in charts/figures with multiple traces only receive point ids for one trace

For figures that have multiple traces it is not possible to get the id of the clicked trace points for all traces, only one. This is a problem when trying to display details for clicked points of multiple traces.

The example below shows how to reproduce the behaviour with plotly 4.9.0 in a Jupyter notebook. When clicking on the green points, the text below the chart shows the id of the clicked point but when clicking on one of the purple points, the id is empty.

Could you kindly take a look?

import plotly.graph_objects as go
from ipywidgets import Output, VBox

import numpy as np
np.random.seed(1)
out = Output()

# create our callback function
@out.capture(clear_output=True)
def update_point(trace, points, selector):
    print(f'Clicked {points.point_inds}')

def create_scatter(colour):
    scatter = go.Scatter(x=np.random.rand(30), y=np.random.rand(30), mode='markers')
    colors =  [colour] * 30
    scatter.marker.color = colors
    scatter.marker.size = [10] * 30
    return scatter
    
scatter1 = create_scatter(colour='#a3a7e4')
scatter2 = create_scatter(colour='#bae2be')
fig = go.FigureWidget([scatter1, scatter2])
fig.data[0].on_click(update_point)
fig.data[1].on_click(update_point)
fig.layout.hovermode = 'closest'

VBox([fig, out])

Riproduci il problema nel Jupyter notebook fornito usando FigureWidget, due trace Scatter e callback on_click separati. Inizia dal percorso di callback della trace di FigureWidget e verifica come viene popolato points.point_inds per ciascuna trace. Il lavoro è completato quando facendo clic sui punti di una delle due trace viene restituito l’ID del punto selezionato invece di un valore vuoto.
