pass variable in drop down from another notebook

Question

Hi,

I am trying to pass a variable from notebook A to Notebook B which has drop down widget list.
However getting below error.

error message : select sequence must include X

Notebook A has below variable defined.
parameters_global['Source'] = '["X","Y","Z"]'

Notebook B has below code :

$run ./Parameter/notebook_A

dbutils.widgets.dropdown("Source","X",parameters_global['Source'],"Select Source")

Accepted Answer

If you run a notebook that contains widgets, the specified notebook is run with the widget’s default values. You can also pass in values to widgets.

For example: %run /path/to/notebook $X="10" $Y="1"

Note: This example runs the specified notebook and passes 10 into widget X and 1 into widget Y.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
