How to set default values for pickStringRemember and promptStringRemember in VSCode?

$

I'm unable to set default values for input variables of type pickStringRemember and promptStringRemember in VSCode with the "Command Variable"-Extension (v1.63.0)

I successfully passed input variables from launch.json to task.json in VSCode with the following configuration:

launch.json:

{"version": "0.2.0","configurations": [        {"type": "node","request": "launch","name": "Launch Program","program": "${workspaceFolder}/app.js ${input:ChooseModule} ${input:ChooseBaseNode}","preLaunchTask": "Build"        },    ],"inputs": [        {"id": "ChooseModule","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.pickStringRemember","args": {"key": "Module","options": ["ModuleA.py","ModuleB.py","ModuleC.py",                ],"description": "Choose a Module"            },        },        {"id": "ChooseBaseNode","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.promptStringRemember","args": {"key": "BaseNode","description": "Base node",            }        },    ]}

task.json:

{"version": "2.0.0","tasks": [      {"label": "Build","type": "shell","command": "python","args": [ "build.py", "${input:ChooseModule}", "${input:ChooseBaseNode}" ],      },    ],"inputs": [        {"id": "ChooseModule","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.remember","args": {"key": "Module",            }        },        {"id": "ChooseBaseNode","type": "command","command": "extension.commandvariable.remember","args": {"key": "BaseNode"            }        }    ]}

Launching the program, selecting "ModuleA" as Module and entering "Node1" as Node results in the line"Executing task: python build.py ModuleA.py Node1"in the Terminal, so the variables are passed successfully!!

Now I tried to set "ModuleC.py" and "Node2" as default values for the pick and the prompt with the following changes:

task.json:

                ..."options": ["ModuleA.py","ModuleB.py","ModuleC.py",                ],"default": "ModuleC.py","description": "Choose a Module"                ...            ..."key": "BaseNode","default": "Node2""description": "Base node",            ...

I expected to see the "ModuleC" item selected and on top of the pick-list (as it works with plain "pickString") and "Node2" selected and entered in the input field. But that's not the case! Neither the pick-list nor the input field shows and accepts the default values.

Whats wrong with my code ?
