Pass String Parameter from Command Editor to Custom Page

Hi everyone,

I have the following JS function applied to a Command Button. This is being used to open a Custom Page dialog in a Model Driven App. All working fine.

function openStrategicApproval(primaryControl, firstSelectedItemId, selectedEntityTypeName)
{
    // Centered Dialog
    var pageInput = {
        pageType: "custom",
        name: "new_requeststrategiccaseapproval_ad938",
        entityName: selectedEntityTypeName, // "sample_review"
        recordId: firstSelectedItemId // "{087AA308-B321-E811-A845-000D3A33A3AC}" 
    };
    var navigationOptions = {
        target: 2,
        position: 1,
                height: {
                    value: 300,
                    unit: "px"
                },
                width: {
                    value: 12,
                    unit: "%"
                }
    };
    Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(
        function () {
            // Refresh the main form when the dialog is closed
            primaryControl.data.refresh();
        }
    ).catch (
        function (error) {
            // Handle error
        }
    );
}

Problem:

What I would like to do is pass a String parameter into this function so that I can leverage it in the Custom Page.

However, I cannot identify what I would need to revise in the JS function in order to accommodate the additional String parameter. In the example below, I have added the parameter into the openStrategicApproval function (primaryControl, firstSelectedItemId, selectedEntityTypeName, String). However, I am not well versed enough in JS to know where I need to place it. For example, I have added it into the Custom page object, but I do not think this is correct.

JS Code:

function openStrategicApproval(primaryControl, firstSelectedItemId, selectedEntityTypeName, String)

{

// Centered Dialog

var pageInput = {

pageType: "custom",

name: "new_requeststrategiccaseapproval_ad938",

entityName: selectedEntityTypeName, // "sample_review"

recordId: firstSelectedItemId, // "{087AA308-B321-E811-A845-000D3A33A3AC}"

};

var navigationOptions = {
