(dynamodb): Tags not replicated when creating a Global Table

When creating a Global Table in DynamoDB with CDK, tags are not propagated to the replication regions and there is no ability to define tags for those replication regions. As a result, our resources are remediated by internal tools due to missing tags.

Reproduction Steps

When creating a Global Table via CDK, I add the following prop to my Table Construct: replicationRegions: ["us-east-2"]

Additionally, I have tags defined for the whole the stack: new AppStack(app, 'DigitalAccountDynamoStack', { tags: { ['deployment_guid']: process.env.bamboo_forge_deployment_guid as string, }});

I have also tried: Tags.of(app).add('deployment_guid', process.env.bamboo_forge_deployment_guid as string); As well as: Tag.add(appStack, 'deployment_guid', process.env.bamboo_forge_deployment_guid as string);

All result in the same: missing tags.

What did you expect to happen?

Tags from the core region should be replicated to the replication regions or there should be a property to manually set the tags.

What actually happened?

Tags are empty in replication regions.

Environment

• **CDK CLI Version 😗*1.106.1
• Framework Version:

@ccicchitelli, thanks for opening this. I actually just experienced this for the first time today myself. I also tried the workaround @skinny85 suggested, and it didn’t work for me either.

Thanks @skinny85 ! That did not have any effect for me, I tested both with an existing table and a new test table. I also tried to find a workaround by running a post-deploy CLI command to tag the relication region by ARN, but my organization doesn’t allow that unfortunately.
