Rundeck Powershell pass options to script - powershell

Question

My question is how do I pass options/ parameter into a PowerShell script? Could not find it on the docs or any other good post about it. I know it's possible because I saw it in a video from the rundeck YouTube channel.

Using inline script just add #option.youroption#, make sure to fill the right params to execute in your windows box. I leave a couple of examples, take a look:
Job definition (inline PowerShell script):
<joblist>
<job>
<context>
<options preserveOrder='true'>
<option name='opt1' />
</options>
</context>
<defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
<description></description>
<dispatch>
<excludePrecedence>true</excludePrecedence>
<keepgoing>false</keepgoing>
<rankOrder>ascending</rankOrder>
<successOnEmptyNodeFilter>false</successOnEmptyNodeFilter>
<threadcount>1</threadcount>
</dispatch>
<executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
<id>700b58f6-9bae-4d97-b97d-dd4c7efba9ca</id>
<loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
<name>JobWINRM</name>
<nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
<nodefilters>
<filter>name: windows</filter>
</nodefilters>
<nodesSelectedByDefault>true</nodesSelectedByDefault>
<scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
<sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
<command>
<exec>echo "hi"</exec>
</command>
<command>
<fileExtension>.ps1</fileExtension>
<script><![CDATA[Write-Host "#option.opt1#"]]></script>
<scriptargs />
<scriptinterpreter>powershell.exe</scriptinterpreter>
</command>
</sequence>
<uuid>700b58f6-9bae-4d97-b97d-dd4c7efba9ca</uuid>
</job>
</joblist>
Using "external script" passing some parameter in "Arguments" textbox.
Powershell script:
### hello.ps1 ###
Param($Variable1 = "Hello", $Variable2 = "World")
"$Variable1 $Variable2"
