very weird thing happening in AWS SSM Parameter Input. The pasted input below gets modified in AWS SSM Automation Documents. Can anyone tell me why this happens? It breaks my script and i can't work with this. here's my code ``` schemaVersion: "2.2" description: "Check HANA DB and stop it LINUX" mainSteps: - action: "aws:runShellScript" name: "HANA_DB_STOP" inputs: runCommand: - '#### errocodes' - '#### 0 = SCRIPT RAN OK' - '#### 10 = SCRIPT FAILED' - '' - '# stop hana db' - 'echo "Stopping Hana DB"' - 'sudo /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapcontrol -nr 00 -function Stop' - '' - '# check hana db state' - 'echo "Checking if Hana DB is running."' - 'HANADBSTATUS=`sudo /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapcontrol -nr 00 -function GetProcessList`' - 'sleep 20' - 'if [[ "$HANADBSTATUS" =~ "GRAY" ]]' - 'then' - ' echo "Hana DB is stopped."' - ' exit 0' - 'else' - 'i=1' - 'while [[ ! "$HANADBSTATUS" =~ "GRAY" ]] && [[ "$i" -lt 11 ]]' - ' do' - ' echo "Warning: HANA DB is running. Checking 10 times with 20 second intervalls until script aborts. This is check $i." ' - ' sudo /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapcontrol -nr 00 -function Stop' - ' sleep 20' - ' # check db state again' - ' HANADBSTATUS=`sudo /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapcontrol -nr 00 -function GetProcessList`' - ' ((i++))' - ' if [ "$i" = 10 ]' - ' then' - ' echo "Error: retried $i-Times. Couldnt stop DB.
