I have successfully used the VSCode extension for Databricks to run a notebook on a cluster from my IDE. However in order to test effectively without changing the source, I need a way to pass parameters to the workflow job.

I have tried various ways of indicating notebook_params in the launch.json (see an example below) but none have successfully been received in the run as shown in the Job Run's Task run details.

Is there a way to pass parameters (to be read via dbutil.widgets) in the VSCode Databricks extension?
