I have grouped bar chart displayed in horizontal. What I want is when I click on bar of the y axis it should display its respective group.

 ![grouped_bar_chart](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/2X/3/3850147fe19e26767cb07a9e8a96d2cd262e8041.png)

In the above Image when I click on Orange bar of D axis.It should also select Blue bar of the D axis.

Hmm. How is this question different from

> [@Multi select bar on click of the grouped chart](https://community.plotly.com/t/multi-select-bar-on-click-of-the-grouped-chart/28734):
>
> How to select two bars at the same time which are grouped. Ex: . When clicked on blue or orange bar of D axis it should select two lines on a click.

?

Hey Etiene,
