Default value for Gradle buildConfigField boolean used across flavors [duplicate]

Question

I have a number of flavors in my app, and I want to set a boolean buildConfigField for a subset of them. Is there a way to avoid having to add the field to every flavor? Ideally my build.gradle would look like the following:

productFlavors {     flavor1 {     }      ....      flavor4 {         buildConfigField "boolean", "DISABLE_SOMETHING", "true"     }      flavor5 {         buildConfigField "boolean", "DISABLE_SOMETHING", "true"     }      ....      flavor8 {     } } 

So in my app I can just go

if (BuildConfig.DISABLE_SOMETHING) {     //disable stuff } 

However, compilation fails when I try to build with, for example, flavor1, as it can't find the field. I don't want to have to remember to add this to every new flavor I create. Are there any ways around this?

You can use defaultConfig for this (inside android{})

defaultConfig {   buildConfigField "boolean", "DISABLE_SOMETHING", "true" }
