How to Add -D VM Options to IntelliJ IDEA's Auto-Build Process?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to add custom -D VM options specifically to the auto-build process in IntelliJ IDEA. I need these options to be applied every time the IDE automatically builds the project, not just during manual builds or run configurations.

I've already tried setting the Build process VM options in the Compiler settings under Build, Execution, Deployment, but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect.

Is there a specific way to ensure these -D VM options are consistently applied during IntelliJ IDEA's auto-build?

Thanks in advance for your help!
