Theme not applying when creating an analysis/dashboard via terraform

Question & Answer
,
1

I’m using Terraform to deploy a dashboard + analysis via the aws_quicksight_dashboard and aws_quicksight_analysis resources respectively. According to the documentation, it should be taking in a theme ARN and applying it on creation, but it always defaults to the classic theme. I’ve tried a custom theme as well as the midnight theme arn, neither sticks on both the dashboard and the analysis. If anyone’s run into this issue and managed to solve it please let me know how? I’ve asked this question on the Terraform forums as well.

Hi @ryan3

Welcome to the community!

For new analyses or dashboards, you can follow these steps here to set the default theme using the API.

Setting a default theme for Amazon QuickSight analyses - Amazon QuickSight.

You can use the describe_theme api to get the theme ARN and use when you create a new analysis.
