How can I pass parameters to SQL datasets in ADF mapping data flows at development time?

In my Azure Data Factory, I have an Azure SQL dataset parameterised for table & schema name:

When I use it as a sink dataset in a mapping dataflow, I can't see any option to supply parameters:

I supply them at runtime from the calling Data flow activity:

But working with the dataset at development time is inconvenient. Is there a way to supply parameter values at dev time?

    I've found the answer -- I can set parameter values in Debug settings (available when the debug cluster is running):

    Hi @Richard Swinbank ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thanks for posting the query.

    There is a option to pass default values from dataset as shown below. Please suggest if this helps for testing during development time.
