How to set Gradle wrapper version when create new project for IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

When I create new Gradle project with IntelliJ IDEA, the Gradle wrapper version is always 4.10.2, but I have updated my Gradle to 5.2.1.

This is the file gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

I tried update Gradle wrapper version with:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 5.2.1

It works.

But, I want to set the Gradle wrapper version when I create new project, not after it.

How?

Currently IDEA uses the version of gradle that comes bundled with the IDE's gradle plugin.
