[bhabanisankar]

Hi Team, We are trying to parameterize the Count value(eg. 2, 3 or any value) by passing the parameter from JSON file to the Cloud formation template. But we are getting error as "Received malformed response from transform". Could you please help us to fix this? if it is possible to parameterize the Count Macro, please share the the steps needs to carried out to fix this issue.

would you be willing to share the solutions that you came up with, would be greatly appreciated as I have been looking for a solution for this as well ?

Hello, apologies for the late reply, the solution is to re-deploy a new version of macro template which has functionality to handle parameters from the json files. We raised a ticket to AWS support and got a new version of Macro-template that was deployed to handle parameter value for count, i hope this helps.

Thanks!! Bhabani Dixit

I see the code for Count macro has not changed since 2021. Where can I find the version that supports parameters in Count macro?
