I can do it this reasonably terrible way, of course, by insert this into settings.gradle.kts

operator fun Settings.get(key: String): String {
            return javaClass.getMethod("getProperty", String::class.java).invoke(this, key) as String
        }

and then referring to settings["property"] for example

[Czar]

in build.gradle.kts declare val yourPropertyName by project or you can access it without declaring if you want using project.findProperty("yourPropertyName")

[Czar]

Note, that it will be of type Any? and the only way to make it of some specific type is casting it, at least until this feature is implemented: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/626

[araqnid]

I was asking specifically about in settings.gradle.kts, which is run before any of the build files - I didn't find a delegate to use there

[Czar]

in settings.gradle.kts you have to access startParameter.projectProperties for that.

val yourParamName by startParameter.projectProperties
//or
startParameter.projectProperties["yourParamName"]

[araqnid]

ah-ha, thank you. Although this differs a bit from the dynamic properties of Settings which are merged from gradle.properties too -- it turns out, that's what I need to do here as well

[Czar]

Yeah, all this is because there are no and there can't be dynamic properties in Kotlin.
