when converting java file to kotlin file intellij is automag

Question

when converting java file to kotlin file intellij is automagically converting java method getSomething setSomething isSomething to a var something While it may be a good idea in theory for trivial code it can create a lot of problem and there is a cascade of inheritance abstract class overriding a mix of java and kotlin class i tried my best for a while but now i have tons of Inherited platform declaration clash with a mix of var and fun method and abstract and override is there a way to tell intellij to stop changing all the get set method to a var and keep them as a get set fun instead

i managed it somehow but this is really rage inducing There is really a need to either stop removing get set or fix the failed conversion of getter setter in any case this should be configurable
