Problem switch build variant with Dynamic Feature on Android Studio 3.6

Question

After I upgrade Android Studio to the latest release 3.6 I faced with the problem when I switch between variants during develop app (has dynamic feature).

My Settings flavors for all modules (app/library/dynamic-feature):

flavorDimensions "default"

productFlavors {
    dev {
        isDefault.set(true)
        dimension "default"
    }
    live {
        dimension "default"
    }
    qa {
        dimension "default"
    }
}

Default variant (both AS3.6 and previous)

When I switched to qa flavor on AS 3.5.x

When I do that on AS 3.6:

Then AS show message:

Module 'xxx' has variant 'qaDebug' selected, but the module 'dynamic-feature' depends on variant 'devDebug'

My configuration in module dynamic-feature is depended on build variant. Now, it's always fallback to dev.

Is there anyway to solve this problem?

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

UPDATE This problem also happens on AS4.0

Wow, I need to manually change variant for dynamic-feature module, then it's worked.

But any time I switch between variants, I will have to sync two times (one for first switching on app module, other for switching variant for dynamic-feature because I only have one module dynamic-feature)

I confirm, same problem here, same solution. – Benjamin Ledet Mar 25 '20 at 17:35
No solution for this, huh? I'm working on a project with 10+ dynamic modules and it is really annoying! – Viktor Petrovski Apr 21 '20 at 11:15
Same problem here. I need to manually change variant. Wait for it to sync and then do it again for my other modules. This is too tedious. – Strauss May 19 '20 at 10:12

Edit: Its not working anymore after adding build flavors. Have no idea what to do.

I had this issue, but after updating to Android Studio 4.0, Gradle 6.5 and Android Gradle Plugin 4.0.0, now I don't have to manually switch my dynamic-feature modules anymore, they follow the main module.

using AGP 4.0 & Gradle Wrapper 6.1.1 I still unable to use this features. Does Gradle Wrapper 6.5 necessary to activate this feature? manually switching variant with multiple DFM sometimes leading to human error issue – mochadwi Jul 03 '20 at 03:56
update: using gradle wrapper 6.5.1 also still doesn't works – mochadwi Jul 12 '20 at 23:19
