Databricks CLI how to start a job and pass the parameters?

I try to start a job ID 85218616788189 and pass one parameters 'demo' in Windows Shell.

This works:

databricks jobs run-now 85218616788189 
 
If I try this one,
databricks jobs run-now --json '{"job_id":85218616788189,"notebook_params": {"demo":"parameter successful"}}'

What is the right syntax? 
@CLI

Hi Jim, I think the right syntax would be something like this:

databricks jobs run-now --job-id 85218616788189 --notebook-params '{"demo":"parameter successful"}'.

Let me know if that worked!

Thanks for your help. I think this syntax only works for Databricks CLI (Legacy). I am using the new CLI which doesn't support the syntax.

@jim12321 I got the same error with CLI version 0.223.1, but I could resolve it by escaping the quotation marks:

databricks jobs run-now --json '{\"job_id\":85218616788189,\"notebook_params\": {\"demo\":\"parameter successful\"}}'

Seems to be fixed by the databricks team with version 0.223.2 and using CLI version 0.208 your provided command works fine too.
