Plotly Express cannot process wide-form data with columns of different type

Hi there! I’ve been trying to use px.scatter with a wide-format dataframe but, as “expected”, when i include columns in the dataframe that are not numeric i get the ValueError: Plotly Express cannot process wide-form data with columns of different type.

I can see the reason for this behavior when using something like a box plot. But i don’t get why this could be a problem for something like px.scatter when using something like x=df.columns, y=df.index, facet_col=‘variable’ where EACH wide dataframe column would be independent making its dtype irrelevant in comparison with the other columns. Could this condition be “skipped” in future versions when using a px.scatter like this?

The issue names px.scatter and a wide-form dataframe but no files or tests; start by reproducing the ValueError with mixed-type columns and tracing the wide-form validation. Done means determining whether scatter can accept independently typed columns while preserving appropriate validation for other chart types, with regression coverage for the requested case.
