I am attempting to pass in two parameters into a .sh script using the system.util.execute function in a project update script. I have confirmed that I am able execute the .sh file without passing in parameters from Ignition. Have also confirmed I can pass in parameters into the .sh file when running it on the terminal.

I have tried both passing in variables (as seen below) and hardcoding the parameters to the userName and email that I want, but they are not being passed in. Can confirm the git-auto-commit is executing though, just with the incorrect username/email.
