Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to change the range of the yaxis when using the update method for dropdowns. I believe I should be passing it into the args for the dictionary but the following (and a few variations) don’t seem to work. The right trace is displayed and the title of the figure changes but the yaxis range is not being modified.

args=[  
{‘visible’: [True, False, False]},  
{‘title’: f’{title\_string} {clean\_name}’},  
{‘yaxis’: dict(range=[-1., 1])}  
]

Thanks in advance for any help!
