I'm updating the kotlin version and we have some dependencies that has kotlin-stdlib-jdk8 as transitive dependencies. This transitive dependencies are not been updated to the same kotlin version that I'm using. I tried <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew18.html#usage-of-the-latest-kotlin-stdlib-version-in-transitive-dependencies|this> (`kotlin.stdlib.jdk.variants.version.alignment=false`), but I ran the dependency task and it is still showing the old version.

I'd say that property is doing exactly the opposite of what you are after.

The doc says, that the version are aligned and that with this property you disable the alignment.

If it does not work, maybe you should follow the next paragraph that tells to use the `kotlin-bom` as platform.
