That property is for reloading IDE dynamic plugins (enabling/disabling plugin without IDE restart). If you want your source code to be hot-swapped, see the Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | HotSwap | **Reload classes after compilation** options. – Andrey Apr 07 '20 at 15:43

Note that this setting is true by default https://github.com/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin/commit/a2cad53c44dc713a17dbe11ef0dee3a9c61edfb1 – ulrichenslin Apr 30 '20 at 13:41
