• What is the current behavior? When creating a CfnAssociation parameter:

Parameters = new Dictionary<string, Amazon.CDK.AWS.SSM.CfnAssociation.ParameterValuesProperty>
{ 
  {
    "Operation", new Amazon.CDK.AWS.SSM.CfnAssociation.ParameterValuesProperty
    { 
      ParameterValues = new[] { "Scan" } 
    }
  }
}

The output appears to be correct, but cloud formation reports the following error: “Value of {Parameters} must be a map where each value is a list of {String}”

Looking at the documentation, it appears from the sample yaml it should be:

Parameters:
      Directory: ["myWorkSpace"]

but what is emitted from the code above is:

Parameters:
  Operation:
    ParameterValues:
      - Scan

• What is the expected behavior (or behavior of feature suggested)?

Would expect the association to be created with the correct parameters and values.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior or adding this feature?

Would like to have CfnAssociation working.

Thanks @skinny85! Excited for the next release to try this and remove my overrides.
