Invalid type for parameter tags - type: <class 'list'>, valid types: <class 'dict'> #1723
Description
Hey guys!
I'm having a problem when running a cloud formation script on local stack. Can't find a solution anywhere, and tried a lot different approaches, but still could not make it work.
Is there a different way to declare this declare this values? (Trying to add SQS)
