as per doc describe-dashboard — AWS CLI 1.36.39 Command Reference, the LinkEntities filed in the describe-dashboard API call captures “A list of analysis Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) to be linked to the dashboard.”
Does it mean that a dashboard can be linked to multiple analysis? if not, why it is defined as an Array?
@susie ,
Yes, It should allow you to link multiple analysis to the same dashboard.

it seems we can only use cli (i.e.update-dashboard-links) to set a dashboard to have multiple linked analysis, but I do not understand the use case of this feature.
from my testing, after linking 2 different analysis (let’s say analysis_A and analysis_B) to a dashboard, I don’t see any difference on the dashboard.

yes that’s correct . Imagine a scenario where there is a dashboard which has been published. A developer makes a copy of this dashboard as an analysis . Now to publish the analysis to the original dashboard, a link needs to be established. update-dashboard-links API call will help you achieve that. Here would you then have 2 analysis [ Original analysis linked to original dashboard, copy of analysis linked to original dashboard ]

Hi @susie,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you, did you have any additional questions regarding your initial post?
If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.
Thank you!
