[Bug]: Creating dashboard from a template using cascading controls

[violettepcp]

Terraform Core Version

1.5.7

AWS Provider Version

5.60

Affected Resource(s)

aws_quicksight_dashboard

Expected Behavior

No error should be thrown since the dashboard is created properly and accessible from the quicksight interface (with all the working functionalities of the template)

Actual Behavior

The ressource "aws_quicksight_dashboard" is throwing an error in terraform when a template using cascading control configuration is used.
However the dashboard is correctly created and accessible from the Quicksight interface (and the cascading between the controls work fine).

If the dashboard resource doesn't exist yet then the error is thrown during the creation of apply plan but if it already exist then is it thrown during the terraform plan part.

Steps to Reproduce

json representation of template used (for the dashboard creation we use the arn of the template but this json is the result of the 'aws quicksight describe-template-definition' command template-definition.json

Definition of the ressource:

resource "aws_quicksight_dashboard" "cm_tracker_dashboard" {
  aws_account_id      = var.account_id
  dashboard_id        = "${var.namespace}-dashboard-id"
  name                = "CM Tracker Dashboard"
  version_description = "Initial version of CM Tracker Dashboard"

  source_entity {
    source_template {
      arn = "arn:aws:quicksight:${var.region}:${var.account_id}:template/${var.quicksight_template_id}/version/${var.quicksight_template_version}"
      data_set_references {
        data_set_placeholder = "DataSetPlaceholderName"
        data_set_arn         = "arn:aws:quicksight:${var.region}:${var.account_id}:dataset/${var.namespace}-data-set-eu"
      }
    }
  }

  permissions {...}

  permissions {...}
}
