Changing the DayofYear hover over from ggplot to Plotly?

[ahsanshah]

I must be missing something as this should be fairly simple. I have a ggplot for which I have multiple years of data. I needed the data across multiple years to "overlap" on the same plot. The fact that 2016 is a leap year causes issues on the X axis scaling. I looked to see if there was any package or solution but was unable to find anything. As such, I rescaled across LEAP and NON LEAP to have a DAY range of 366 (versus 365 for 2 years and 366 for 2016).

This is all working fine. Howwver, I now want to force PLOTLY to show the DATE value on the Hover over versus the X axis DayofYear. I assumed I can easily overwrite this using something like this which I found.

p_gg_build <- plotly_build(p1)
p_gg_build$data[[2]]$text <- paste("DATE = ", test_tmp$DT_STAY_DATE)

However, this applied to a specific trace (e.g. trace #2). Is there no way to automatically force all traces to have the custom HOVER over? Essentially, how do I force ALL traces to overwrite the custom HOVER text? Is there a simpler option that can allow me to overwrite the ggplot hover text?

Attached code and RDS files for reference.
