MongoDB Persistency when deploying to Kubernetes via VSCode Cloud Studio - mongodb

Question

I am trying to use VSCode Cloud Studio plugin to deploy and debug a project in Kubernetes. When I use intellij and Cloud Studio plugin there, everything works perfect. My MongoDB is persistent with each deployment. When I use VSCode and Cloud Studio there, MongoDB is not persistent anymore. I would appreciate any tips to make it work in VSCode too.
When I deploy via intellij it uses the same persistent volume claim. When I deploy via VSCode it creates a new persistent volume claim everytime.
Here is the launch.json for VSCode:
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Kubernetes: Run/Debug",
"type": "cloudcode.kubernetes",
"request": "launch",
"skaffoldConfig": "${workspaceFolder}\\skaffold.yaml",
"watch": false,
"cleanUp": false,
"portForward": true,
"imageRegistry": "XYZ",
"debug": [
{
"image": "XYZ",
"containerName": "XYZ",
"sourceFileMap": {
"${workspaceFolder}": "/root/"
}
}
]
}
]
}
Here is the workspace.xml from intellij:

All other files are the same for the project of course.

It looks like the Cloud Code for IntelliJ configuration is restricting the deployment to the XYZ module, but not in the Cloud Code for VS Code configuration.
