This is exactly what I was looking for how to do. In my case, the underlying data is seconds and thus I wanted to change unit to "second(s)" in a timeseries_definition. Now I understand why I could not find it. I manually the widget after creating it via terraform and then ran terraform plan to give a hint, which showed a lot of positional changes but nothing unit related and now I guess I know why. This would be a very nice to have as otherwise, the data that represents seconds cannot be autoscaled and just represents a count.
Echoing the need for this — it's really unfortunate to lose a key aesthetic feature in the process of automating observability definitions.
+1 Would like to have this feature
This one is needed for me too. +1
+1.
Can we have them for other type of definition too, not only timeseries_definition
?
I believe it's handy to be adopted by other definitions e.q. toplist_definition
, treemap_definition
etc 🙇🏻

What resources or data sources are affected?
datadog_dashboard
Feature Request
via the browser, I can set the unit overrides on a time-series graph eg so that a number is actually seconds and then the graph displays it and scales the unit accordingly eg seconds/mins/hours etc
looking at the resource page it makes no mention of unit overrides for this widget type ( or many of them)
if I manually set it in the browser on previously applied code and then run another terraform plan instead of showing me it's changed i get no changes.
the details are there in the dashboard json, they are just not being parsed by the resource
eg: - snipped for clarity
