AWS cloud formation glue table reusable template - amazon-web-services

Question

I have a lot of resources type AWS::Glue::Table in my aws templates. And I do not wont to copy-paste snippet of code from template to template. So idea is to create a reusable nested stack that accepts the params. I did it but one problem is still remaining. I do not know how I can pass columns via params to this stack [{Type: string, Name: type}, {Type: string, Name: timeLogged}] - it is an array of objects. But params accepts an only string type.
I tried to do something like this:
!Split [ "," , "{Type: string, Name: type}, {Type: string, Name: timeLogged}"] - but its did not helped

Short answer: You currently can not. You would need to pass every parameter manually.
