How do I get IntelliJ to recognize an active IPython kernel?

I have used Jupyter notebooks for some time now without any problems. However I use IntelliJ for pretty much all my programming and wanted to try out moving my ipython workflow into IntelliJ. I followed the instructions provided here and everything seems to work fine except when I go to run a cell it keeps trying to start the kernel even though the kernel should already be running.

I can use the kernel in Jupyter like normal when I follow the link, but I can not use it from IntelliJ.

Here is the same issue on StackOverflow for reference.
