Jenkins /buildWithParameters POST request fails on multi-branch project because "This build is not parameterized"

Using Jenkins latest, I have a multi-branch project with a declarative Jenkinsfile. The jenkins file has parameters defined:

Jenkins snippet

pipeline {
    agent any
    parameters {
        string(name: 'P_A', defaultValue: 'a', description: 'a')
        string(name: 'P_B', defaultValue: '[email protected]', description: 'b')
    }
    stages {

In my multi-branch project configuration, I have disabled SCM triggering when a new branch is found. I want to run the pipeline on demand via the following call to /buildWithParameters.

Request

POST http://127.0.0.1:9000/job/multibranchprojectname/job/jobname/buildWithParameters
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

token=&P_A=test&[email protected]

Reponse

HTTP 500
java.lang.IllegalStateException: This build is not parameterized!

For parameters defined in the pipeline Jenkins does not recognize them if the pipeline has not been executed at least once.

Under the "General" tab of the Jenkins job in the jenkins web app, you must select the checkbox labeled "This project is parameterized" and then create String Parameters (one of the available types of parameters once this check box is selected) which you are trying to pass values to.
