CloudFormation return values for MediaLive Inputs

Question

I have a CFn template that deploys a MediaLive pipeline that gets used by internal people that don't know a lot about the AWS Elemental Media Services. I would like to have the people that deploy this template refer to the Outputs of the CloudFormation template to determine the MediaLive Input destination that they need to push RTMP content to. Documentation (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-medialive-input.html#aws-resource-medialive-input-return-values) says that the "Destinations" return value should do what I need.

Consider the following CFn:

Outputs:
       MediaLiveInputDestination:
         Value: !GetAtt .Destinations

The template errors when being deployed, stating "Template format error: Every Value member must be a string.". I presume that an array is being passed back to CFn, which means that I have to specify a sub-value under Destinations - but there is no documentation that I can find to determine what sub-values are returned (I've tried the obvious candidates of ".A" and ".0" to no avail).

Any suggestions?
