Definition

There are 2 ways of defining parameters, see

parameters:
    nameA: "value1"
    nameB:
        value: "value2"
        description: "description of nameB"

Parameters is a dictionary which expects key:value pairs.

nameA: "value1"

key: string is a shorthand for writting as key:value

nameA:
    value: "value1"
    description: ""

These two are identical with description to be an empty string
