this.environments = function (parameters, info) {
    // returns [ { key: "Key", value: "value", enabled: true } ... ] values

    var keyValueDictionary = convertDictionaryParameter(dictionaryParameterValue); // Dictionary type object

// Returns { key : value } object
function convertDictionaryParameter(dictionary) {
        
    // Dictionary UI parameter returns { key: "key", value: "value", enabled:true } elements in array.
    // Filter not enabled and convert them to single key:value dictionary
    if (dictionary === undefined) { return {} }
        
    var keyValue = {};
    for(var i=0; i< dictionary.length;i++) {
        var item = dictionary[i];
