Trigger plotly autoscale from a function, without altering the axis style - in r

Question

I'm trying to autoscale a plotly graph from a function in a R shiny app - which essentially works, but also resets the entire x and y axis layout (size, font, color, ...). Is it possible to preserve those settings and to only modify the axis scaling?

That's the code:

observeEvent(input$selBg_dz1,{

backgroundSignal$dz1_delta <- calcSignalBackground("DZ1_delta")

plotlyProxy("myGraph", session = session) %>%
 plotlyProxyInvoke("relayout", list(xaxis=list(autorange=T), yaxis=list(autorange=T)))

 })
