Boxplot hoverinfo/hovertext fails to take

[lswainemoore]

Hello! I'm trying to customize the hover behavior of a box plot, and it doesn't seem to be working in the way I'd expect.

Reproduction of the issue here: https://codepen.io/lswainemoore/pen/MYgJQJp

In the first two plots, I've tried the two methods that I'd expect to work based on the documentation and other plot types. In A, which uses the hovertemplate method that works for scatter C, the original hovers are unchanged. In B, which uses the text + hoverinfo method that works for scatter D, the hovers disappear. The style of the hovers is customizable via layout, but content seems not to be.

I see some mention of this issue here / here (in python, though I trust the issue is the same), but no resolution yet. Hopefully my reproduction above is helpful for making progress on this! If a fix isn't possible in the short term, it would be nice to confirm that this is a known issue at least, and that I'm not just holding it wrong.

Appreciate any thoughts and help with this.
