Describe the current behavior

When a user triggers a custom run from the UI, the Parameters tab only displays the overrides. Here is an example of my deployment parameters:

Then, I trigger a custom run from this deployment, but change the dataset parameter value to yellow_nyc. The Parameters tab, unfortunately, only displays the overrides, rather than all parameter values this flow run was triggered with (including the default parameter values):

Describe the proposed behavior

Thanks for this @anna-geller - right now the UI only has access to the overrides. I agree this has the potential for confusion though so marking for product feedback/discussion.

@zhen0 Aren't all of the defaults available on the deployment parameter schema?

[anna-geller]

they are, 100% true

[zhen0]

Good point @madkinsz - yes they are and the UI could use that to add more complete information.

There's the odd edge case where the flow code is updated after the deployment but I think we can leave that for now.

Needs a merge object utility?

We should probably use the merge method from lodash. We already utilize a couple lodash methods and this seems like something we probably don't want to implement ourselves (and there probably isn't an advantage to implementing it ourselves)
