Thanks for the suggestion, @quaff. I prefer the current approach of only copying over certain properties as I think it's less likely to lead to unexpected behavior. There are also some properties in the main gradle.properties that it doesn't really make sense to copy over. Filtering those out would be just as verbose if not more verbose than the current approach.

@wilkinsona If you accept this change, I would open another PR.

before:

    def propertiesFile = new File(new File("$projectDir").parentFile, "gradle.properties")
    propertiesFile.withInputStream {

after:

    new File("$projectDir/../gradle.properties").withInputStream {

Personally, I prefer the use of parentFile. I'd get rid of the propertiesFile variable in https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/commit/3a45d46583ae6a3a8c5fb31d9dfca52c02ff7514 though. Thanks for the idea.
