Dashboard updates and email schedules

Q&A

I have email schedules that are set up on some of my Quick Sight dashboards, and I occasionally use the AWS CLI to update dashboards (through templates created from the original analysis). When I do this, the email schedule stops working and it appears like the selected dashboard sheet that’s on the email schedule has been cleared out.

When I open a dashboard’s email schedules after using the “aws quicksight update-dashboard” command, I get a “Missing selected sheet.” error and I have to select a sheet to save the schedule. This happens when the dashboard is updated, even when a sheet is updated that isn’t related to the selected sheet in the schedule.

When I use the AWS Quick Sight web console to update the dashboard from the analysis, then the email schedule is preserved. Is there a way to get this same behavior with the AWS CLI?

Hi luke_1, as schedule can only be added via the dashboard, CLI may flush the configurations. But cross worksheet sounds strange. I suggest you create a support case to share the CLI command you used. Support engineer will check into your dashboard and find the root cause.

I opened a support ticket and showed the issue to a support engineer, and they told me they’ve opened an internal ticket about this. Thank you.
