How to update x, y and z axes titles for 3D surface plots within a subplot?

I am having trouble changing the axes titles on 3D surface plots within a subplot.

This is how I’m trying to update the titles while iterating through the rows and columns of the subplot:

fig.add_trace(go.Surface(z=z, x=x, y=y,
                                     colorscale='blues',
                                     cauto=False,
                                     cmax=cmax,
                                     cmin=cmin,
                                     reversescale=True,
                                     hovertemplate=hover,
                                     hoverinfo=None),
                                     row=i, col=j)
fig.update_xaxes(title_text="x-axis title test", row=i, col=j)
fig.update_yaxes(title_text="y-axis title test", row=i, col=j)

Here’s what it ends up looking like with the axes titles of x, y and z being unchanged:

I could really use someone’s help here as I’m new to plotly. Thank you!

Your plots are 3d, and unlike the 2d case, to update xaxis, yaxis, zaxis attributes you have to refer to the scenes:

fig.update_scenes(xaxis_title_text='LooooooooooongX',  
                  yaxis_title_text='LooooooooooongY',  
                  zaxis_title_text='LooooooooooongZ')
