In AWS Codepipeline, how do I assign a proper role name to allow a stack deployment via CloudFormation?

Question

So, I am creating a pipeline and when I go to add a deploy stage to create a stack with CloudFormation, I get this error when I try to attach a role name:

"The role name is invalid. Check that the specified role exists and can be assumed by AWS CloudFormation."

The role exists, and I have gone into "Trust Relationship" and made CodePipeline a trusted entity. I am using the ARN as the role name. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

In the "Trust Relationship" it is actually CloudFormation that needs to be the trusted entity, not CodePipeline.
