[Paraview] Can I tie Z Axis Grid labels to the unscaled range of the Scalar Value used in the Warp By Scalar filter?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Another option is to use the "Data Transform" properties on the Axes
Grid. In the "Edit" Axes Grid dialog, if you press the gear icon to
show advanced properties, you'll see the "Data Transform" properties.
For example, if I scale my dataset by (1, 1, 10), I can set the "Data
Scale" to (1, 1, 10) and I'll get labels matching the original
unscaled range.

Hope that helps.
