如何将 JSON 类型传入 yaml cloudformation 模板

Question

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-iot1click-placement.html#cfn-iot1click-placement-associateddevices

states that the property AssociatedDevices is a type JSON, but when I am writing the template in YAML

I have read a few responses here and have tried the following:

AssociatedDevices: "--arguments": '{"SecuityButtonTemplate": !Ref TestITPA.DeviceId}'   
PlacementName: "TestITPAPlacement"      
Attributes:  "--arguments": '{"--Location": TestITPALoc}'

(this fails to build)

and this:

  AssociatedDevices: '{"SecuityButtonTemplate": !Ref TestITPA.DeviceId}'   
  PlacementName: "TestITPAPlacement"
  Attributes:  '{"Location":"TestingLoc"}'

(this also fails to build)

I have even search github for YAML code referencing AssociatedDevices but not finding how people are actually doing this - can anyone help me shed some light ?

I lastly have tried this:

     AssociatedDevices: !Sub |
{
    SecuityButtonTemplate: !Ref TestITPA.DeviceId
}   
  PlacementName: "TestITPAPlacement"
  Attributes:  !Sub |
{
    Location: "testingLoc"
}

(this throws what seems to be an IDE erorr - the middle variable of palcementName is not longer red like the others)

You can try the following:

AssociatedDevices: !Sub '{"SecuityButtonTemplate": "${TestITPA.DeviceId}"}'  
PlacementName: "TestITPAPlacement"
Attributes: '{"Location":"TestingLoc"}'
