Hi @gopinathpc - Can you please try the below command. source entity is optional. aws quicksight update-dashboard --aws-account-id xxxxxx --dashboard-id 0ff89e4d-13f3-4146-babd-699daa2dc5fa --name “HR Reports new” Regards - Sanjeeb ---

Hi @gopinathpc - Ok, as per documentation it is not mandatory field for source entity, is it possible to describe the dashboard and provide the details on the source entity arn? I believe instead of using source entity, you may need to put the arn… see the below API details… > **[UpdateDashboard - Amazon QuickSight](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateDashboard.html#API_UpdateDashboard_RequestSyntax)** > > Updates a dashboard in an AWS account.

If I dont use source entity (which is optional), I get these errors. ---

Hi @gopinathpc - You are correct, can you use source entity and give the arn details as per the documentation. Regards - Sanjeeb ---
