In order to avoid generating unnecessary diffs to currently-deployed
CloudWatch dashboards, in #5628 when adding support for
cross-region/cross-account metrics, we only selectively render the new
attributes into the graph (only when we estimate it will make a difference).
The method chosen was:
However, this has the side effect that the new region and account
attributes don't work at all in environment-agnostic stacks (because we
won't know whether they'll be different or not, and we assume they will
be).
Whether the original behavior was wrong or not can be debated,
but it's unintuitive for sure: users put in values that don't come
back out in the usual, getting-started case.
In this PR, change the decision to:
This will fix the case of manual input to
Metric
, and sinceattachTo()
won't take account and region from environment-agnosticstacks anyway, it also won't introduce unwanted diffs in most cases.
Fixes #5747.
