Here's the JS version of your code:

Box and lasso selection seem to be working as expected. Perhaps you're R installation is using an old version of plotly.js. Sankey node grouping via selection first got released as part of plotly.js@v1.47.0.

Thanks for the quick response. I deleted the Plotly package ver 4.9.0 downloaded from CRAN, and installed the Github version via devtools::install_github("ropensci/plotly") to get the ver 4.9.0.9000 which brought back the Box Select, Lasso Select etc.
