Hi,
Thank you for taking a look into my question and I appreciate your time.
I'm fairly new to renovate bot and trying to find a solution to the below problem.

Here is my case. I have a Java gradle project and in the gradle file, we have something like this.
implementation group: "org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot', version: '${spring_boot_version}"

Here, the version of spring_boot_version is getting passed at the pipeline gradle task and to build the code, we are using the below command and passing the exact value of boot version.

./gradlew clean build --project-prop spring_boot_version=3.3.3

Now, renvovate bot does not know about the value and its trying to resolve the variable ${spring_boot_version} from gradle.properties and we kept the varaible with some random value. Its working and reading the value from gradle.properties.

But, how we can configure the renovate bot, to let it know that, if any gradle file has a variable spring_boot_version, use the value as X.
