MLFlow run: Pass parameters in a file instead of key/value pairs

Question

Usually when running an MLProject, I would use something similar to:

mlflow run . -P alpha=0.1 -P l1_ratio=0.9

Is it possible to pass a file containing the key/value pairs instead ? so something like:

mlflow run . --file ./parametrs

where ./parameters contains the key/value pairs (like an env file or something)

One way I thought of is to make a seperate bash script that accept the file and extracts the key/value pairs to be included in the run command, but I wonder if there's a way more native to mlflow.

It's not supported functionality according to documentation, and source code, so you'll need to add your own wrapper to read parameters from file & pass them explicitly.
