How to force idea to use local gradle
Answered
when I new a project with Gradle, IDEA always downloads Gradle from the internet, Even if I have installed Gradle locally and configured environment variables. Why I can't set gradle like maven to use locally? The version is 2019.2.3

you can see from the picture,I can't set gradle path before new a gradle project, so when I new a gradle project, idea will be automatically downloaded from the Internet. So I had to stop this download behavior and then go to the designated project to use the local gradle.
This is a really bad design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Gives a very bad experience

For the time being, you can define Gradle settings for all new projects under "Preferences for New Projects | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle":
