Description
When trying to update a cloudformation stack, we specify the parameters we want to update and we get an error about other parameters that need to be updated.
Example of what is specified:
{"ParameterKey": "GlusterDiskSizeParameter","ParameterValue": "450"}
The following error comes when using the above parameters:
botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the UpdateStack operation: Parameters: [RDSUsernameParameter, RDSPasswordParameter, ClusterIDParameter] must have values
However when we call that same function, and add each of those Parameters with "UsePreviousValue": True" we get an error indicating invalid parameters

We also are selecting to use the existing template as we are just updating and replacing a parameter in it. Any assistance on what we are doing wrong or how to move forward with this would be appreciated.
