cloudformation template to create IAM role with inline policy

Question

I am trying to create an IAM role using the below template. I am able to create the role with managed policies. When I try to add inline policy in my template I get the error

"Property PolicyDocument cannot be empty."

{
"Resources": {
"test": {
      "Type": "AWS::IAM::Role",
      "Properties": {
        "AssumeRolePolicyDocument": {

Policies is a list of policy objects which is written as follows, with each individual policy object embedded in curly braces inside the [] list:

"Policies": [ {
    "PolicyName" : "policy01",
    "PolicyDocument" : { ... }
}, {
    "PolicyName" : "policy02",
    "PolicyDocument" : { ... }
} ]
