Hi,

Plotly is pruning zero. For example when I want to set in x: 2018-07-11 23:43:42.660  
It is displaying 2018-07-11 23:43:42.66.  
Because of which I am not able to retrieve the results set in 2018-07-11 23:43:42.660

Can you please help?

Thanks  
Harprit

Isn’t this a duplicate of [Tickformat is not working as expected](https://community.plotly.com/t/tickformat-is-not-working-as-expected/10874) ?

@etienne, if you see below image: On the x-axis, it shows the dot at the correct point: 2018-07-11 23:43:42.660  
but when I click that point it shows: 2018-07-11 23:43:42.66  
It prunes that zero, so I am not able to retrieve the value associated with that point.
