Description

All table names created have a NONE suffix, so if you create a sandbox for each user in the same AWS account, they will not be identifiable.

A table named TODO-<appsync-api-id>-NONE would be created as follows.

Here is the schema I created.

const schema = a.schema({
  Todo: a
    .model({
      id: a.string(),
      content: a.string(),
    })
    .authorization((allow) => [allow.guest()]),
});

Hey👋 thanks for raising this! I'm going to transfer this over to our API repository for better assistance 🙂

I agree, better naming would be great.

Hi @kita3222, Thanks for raising this. We are marking this as a feature request for the team to evaluate further.

@kita3222 - The DynamoDB tables should have tags based on your sandbox identifier. Will that solve your problem to differentiate the tables created by different users?

Is there any update on this one so far?

Would appreciate it if there is an update on this from the team....

That would be enough for me.

BTW, any updates on this?
