But you can also set that in your build.gradle.kts file, but set the value to whatever it is in the system property, and that will effectively pass along the value to the application process.

application {
  mainClassName = main_class

  applicationDefaultJvmArgs = listOf(

    "-Djava.awt.headless=true",
    "-Dio.ktor.development=${System.getProperty("io.ktor.development") ?: "false"}",
    "-Xms128m",
    "-Xmx256m",
    "-XX:+UseG1GC",
    "-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=100"
  )
}
