How do you define "COPY_AUTO_SCALING_GROUP" for CodeDeploy DeploymentGroup in CloudFormation?

Question

I'm trying to convert our old CodeDeploy DeploymentGroup from an "IN_PLACE" deployment type to a "BLUE_GREEN" deployment type using CloudFormation.  Everything seems to be working pretty well except that I can't seem to figure out how to configure the ASG.

I want to copy the existing ASG and have it create new EC2 instances.  However, changing the "GreenFleetProvisioningOption" to use the "COPY_AUTO_SCALING_GROUP" action causes CloudFormation throw an error with the message:

>Property AutoScalingGroups cannot be specified.

If I remove the "AutoScalingGroups" from the CFN template I get this error:

>Exactly one AutoScaling group must be specified when selecting the COPY_AUTO_SCALING_GROUP green fleet provisioning option.

I've looked in the docs but I can't find a way to specify a single ASG.  Is this a bug?  If so, where do we file a bug report?  Is this by design?  If so, why can I configure this through the Console, or API, or CLI but not through CFN?

Here's the relevant part of my template:

```
    "cddgsg": {
      "Type": "AWS::CodeDeploy::DeploymentGroup",
      "Properties": {
        "AutoRollbackConfiguration": {"Enabled": true, "Events": ["DEPLOYMENT_FAILURE"]},
        "BlueGreenDeploymentConfiguration": {
          "DeploymentReadyOption": {"ActionOnTimeout": "CONTINUE_DEPLOYMENT"},
          "GreenFleetProvisioningOption": {"Action": "COPY_AUTO_SCALING_GROUP"},
          "TerminateBlueInstancesOnDeploymentSuccess": {"Action": "TERMINATE", "TerminationWaitTimeInMinutes": 1}
        },
        "DeploymentConfigName": "CodeDeployDefault.AllAtOnce",
        "DeploymentStyle": {"DeploymentOption": "WITH_TRAFFIC_CONTROL", "DeploymentType": "BLUE_GREEN"},
        "AutoScalingGroups": [{"Ref": "asgmyappsg"}],
        "ServiceRoleArn": {"Fn::GetAtt": ["iamrdeployer", "Arn"]},
        "DeploymentGroupName": "sg",
        "ApplicationName": "myapp-sg"
      }
    },
```

Hello.

Unfortunately, CloudFormation does not support EC2 BLUE_GREEN deployment.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ja_jp/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-codedeploy-deploymentgroup.html#cfn-codedeploy-deploymentgroup-deploymentstyle  
> For blue/green deployments, AWS CloudFormation supports deployments on Lambda compute platforms only. You can perform Amazon ECS blue/green deployments using AWS::CodeDeploy::BlueGreen hook. See Perform Amazon ECS blue/green deployments through CodeDeploy using AWS CloudFormation for more information.
