How to configure the storage account for the table storage bindings of the functions in the API of an Azure Static Web App

I have an Azure Static Web App being developed within Visual Studio Code, using the Azure Extension. By following some Quick Start tutorials I was able to add the API portion (Node based) and a couple functions that are working fine locally. These functions use a storage account through bindings for table storage, therefore I configured AzureWebJobsStorage in local.settings.json file to point to an Azure Storage Account. Everything works properly locally.

The problem is when I try to access the app live. The API portion is not working. I have found it to be because of a System.InvalidOperationException in this method Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.StorageAccountProvider.Get.

I realized that the settings you specify in local.settings.json are just for local development, but when I try to set in the Portal the App Setting for AzureWebJobsStorage I get an error saying that that particular setting is not allowed. I have read that the reason why that is happening is because that particular setting is managed by the Static Web Apps framework.

MY QUESTION IS:

How do I specify the storage account that the functions in the API of the Static Web App should connect to for table storage bindings?

Since AzureWebJobsStorage is used internally by the framework and cannot be set as a setting, I decided to stop using it. Instead I used my custom setting for the connection and now I can set it in Azure.
