ipywidget not able to start running another notebook

I am trying to add a button in a notebook to trigger an execution of another notebook, but it does not respond to the command. Any idea why? The run command works if I run in a separateimage cell

I think that's what I am doing on line 4 of my code right?

%run command can only be a separate cell.

Sometimes it shows the error:

IllegalArgumentException: Context not valid. If you are calling this outside the main thread, you must set the Notebook context via dbutils.notebook.setContext(ctx), where ctx is a value retrieved from the main thread (and the same cell) via dbutils.notebook.getContext().

Did you end up finding an answer to this? I am running into the same problem
