Looks like this is now supported: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-iam-role.html#cfn-iam-role-tags

Hello,

Having deployed CF template using the IAM Roles 'tags' https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-iam-role.html#cfn-iam-role-tags

I have found that the !Ref is not being honored.

This below works when it's hardcoded

Tags:
        - 
          Key: "keyname1"
          Value: "value1"
        - 
          Key: "keyname2"
          Value: "value2"

This below is not working and the same Parameter works for EC2 and Lambda resources.

Tags:
        - 
          Key: "keyname1"
          Value: "value1"
        - 
          Key: "Application"
          Value: !Ref Application
        - 
          Key: "keyname3"
          Value: "value3"

I'm running into the same problem as above, where calls to !Ref aren't being resolved (the key doesn't show up at all).
