    For my own implementation the delimited string just wasnt flexible enough - so here's a version using a JSON object as the notebook return value: 

     

    Notebook pyspark:

     

    lResult={"numUpdated":10,"message":"success","fruit":["apple","orange","grapes"]}
mssparkutils.notebook.exit(str(lResult))

     

    Expression for varMessageStr:

     

    Anonymous(activity('Test Notebook').output.result.exitValue).message

     

    Expression for varNumUpdatedInt:

     

    INT(json(activity('Test Notebook').output.result.exitValue).numUpdated)

     

    Expression for varFruitArray:

     

    Anonymous(activity('Test Notebook').output.result.exitValue).fruit

Hi Ostrzak 

 

We can pass multiple parameters from Notebook to a pipeline using list of parameters. I have attached the screenshots along with the steps for your reference.

1) Create a list of parameters inside a notebook.

2) Using notebook and set variable activites we can pass the parameters to a pipeline.

 

I hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you have any questions.
