CloudFormation Fn::Transform Operation: Lower -> syntax error

I'm trying to create an AWS S3 Bucket with cloud formation.

S3 bucket name needs to be lowercase but I want to use a paramenter to compound that name. This parameter comes uppercase.

I founded a way.

I read this.

This is my code:

Parameters:

# Global
  ServiceName:
    Type: String
    Description: 'Service Name'
    Default: content-input
   
  Environment:
    Type: String
    Description: 'Environment Name'

Resources:
  S3Bucket: 
    Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
    Properties:
      BucketName: !Join ['-',
      [ 
        content-input,
        'Fn::Transform':
          - Name: 'String'
          Parameters: 
            InputString: !Ref Environment
            Operation: Lower
      ]]

But I get this error.

while parsing a flow node
expected the node content, but found '-'
  in "<unicode string>", line 157, column 11:
              - Name: 'String'

I tried this other syntax referered here

Parameters:

# Global
  ServiceName:
    Type: String
    Description: 'Service Name'
    Default: content-input
   
  Environment:
    Type: String
    Description: 'Environment Name'

Resources:
  S3Bucket: 
    Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
    Properties:
      BucketName: !Join ['-',
      [ 
        content-input,
        'Fn::Transform':
          Name: 'String'
          Parameters: 
            InputString: !Ref Environment
            Operation: Lower
      ]]

But I get:

while parsing a flow sequence
  in "<unicode string>", line 154, column 7:
          [
          ^
expected ',' or ']', but got ':'
  in "<unicode string>", line 157, column 15:
              Name: 'String'
                  ^

Of Course, this work perfectly.

Parameters:

# Global
  ServiceName:
    Type: String
    Description: 'Service Name'
    Default: content-input
   
  Environment:
    Type: String
    Description: 'Environment Name'

Resources:
  S3Bucket: 
    Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
    Properties:
      BucketName: !Join ['-',
      [ 
        content-input,
        mytext
      ]]

How is the right syntax?

Important point to note to get the syntax right is to use Json with Yaml when using multiple Intrinsic functions. Updated syntax below. For Environment value DEV, this creates a bucket of name content-input-dev

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: "2010-09-09"
Parameters:
  ServiceName:
    Type: String
    Description: "Service Name"
    Default: content-input
  Environment:
    Type: String
    Description: "Environment Name"
Resources:
  S3Bucket:
    Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
    Properties:
      BucketName:
        !Join [
          "-",
          [
            !Ref ServiceName,
            {
              "Fn::Transform":
                {
                  "Name": "String",
                  "Parameters":
                    { "InputString": !Ref Environment, "Operation": "Lower" },
                },
            },
          ],
        ]
