Create Run/Debug Configuration for Gradle Tasks
This dialog lets you create a run/debug configuration for the selected Gradle task. It appears when you right-click the task in the Gradle tool window and select Create [task-name].

Name | This field shows the name of your Gradle project and the Gradle task that you have selected in the Gradle tool window for the configuration. |

Single instance only | If this check box is selected, this run/debug configuration cannot be launched more than once. Every time a new run/debug configuration is launched, IntelliJ IDEA checks the presence of the other instances of the same run/debug configuration, and displays a confirmation dialog box. If you click OK in the confirmation dialog box, the first instance of the runner will be stopped, and the next one will take its place. This makes sense when the usage of certain resources can cause conflicts, or when launching two run/debug configurations of the same type consumes too much of the CPU and memory resources. If this check box is not selected, it is possible to launch as many instances of the runner as required. So doing, each runner will start in its own tab of the Run Tool Window or Debug Tool Window. |

Script Parameters | Use this field as the Gradle command line to specify options for Gradle tasks. |
