Hi guys,
A few years ago I was looking into this and got a bit stuck. I’m now coming back to see if things have improved.
Is it now possible to alter the name of fields/columns on Quicksight datasets, analyses, or dashboards?
Another way to look at this might be “can we programmatically edit the axis labels in a chart etc?”
At this stage I don’t care how or where, but I need some mechanism to programmatically (I code in python, so boto3 etc) alter the name of a field/column or how the field is named in a chart or dashboard. This is because I have generic column names that are displayed in dashboards and I need to change the displayed name depending upon the situation. Building templates, datasets, analyses, dashboards programmatically is a nightmare if we can’t edit names of the fields/columns.
For example “column_a” needs to be displayed as “Revenue”.
A much needed feature in my opinion.
