### Description
When using dynamic reference to refer to a StringList type from SSM Parameter store in CFN template, it returns a comma separated string values resulting in one string. So we are unable to use StringList type in a resource property where it expects multiple values, for example, the `Subnets` property of the `AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer`, the `SubnetIds` under `VpcConfig` for `AWS::Lambda::Function` just to name a few.

Research direction
The report names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying where CloudFormation dynamic references are parsed and how JSON/YAML template values are represented; reproduce the SSM StringList case and confirm that the completed behavior produces an array usable by properties such as Subnets and SubnetIds.
