Error: appsync dynamodb not seeing all fields

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
You would run into this error due to two main reasons.
- You have not specified the attribute that you require in the query. Since GraphQL returns only the data you request, it will not return additional data (avoiding over-fetching).
- Secondly, if you are querying an index, you may not have projected the attribute you require onto the index. Any attribute that is not projected will not be added to the GSI or LSI and, therefore, will not be returned even if you request it.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve the error:
- Ensure to request the required attributes in the GraphQL Query.
- Ensure that the index you are querying has the attribute you wish to query projected onto it.
