amplify push will not let me push when I decide to change up the @key fields to something new in the schema.graphql for updating a DynamoDB Table.

OLD

  @key(
    fields: ["interval", "createdAt"]
    name: "SortByInterval"
    queryField: "listByInterval"
  ) {

NEW

  @key(
    fields: ["uid", "interval", "createdAt"]
    name: "SortByInterval"
    queryField: "listByInterval"
  ) {

I am adding the uid because of the issue I'm getting below. uid is the userId.

But when I try to amplify push
I get the error below

Attempting to edit the global secondary index SortByInterval on the XXXtable in the XXX stack.
An error occured during the push operation: Attempting to edit the global secondary index SortByInterval on the XXXTable table in the Insight stack.

Amplify with DynamoDB

@chantlong This is by design, as DynamoDB does not allow multiple changes on GSIs on one table in one deploy operation.

You've to serialize these kind of changes:

• Remove the old key
• Push changes
• Add the new key
• Push changes

GSI definition cannot be updated just its properties like provisioned throughput, etc
