Dependencycheck: would it be possible to remove "root project" from the Project Name on reports generated by dependency-check-gradle?

[alexquiti]

We are looking for a for way to remove "root project" words from the Project name in the repports generated by
gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze using the dependency-check-gradle version 6.1.1

It seems to be taken from the rootProject.name property under the _settings.properties_ file, but it's not a part of the value, but of the name's property
rootProject.name = 'annuaire-service'
There is a parameter --project on the CLI version in order to set the project name https://jeremylong.github.io/DependencyCheck/dependency-check-cli/arguments.html
but there is no that parameter for the Analyse Task in the Gradle plugin https://jeremylong.github.io/DependencyCheck/dependency-check-gradle/configuration.html

Would you know a way to do that?

Thanks in advance

The name on the report comes from gradle's project.getDisplayName(). It appears that gradle itself prepends "root project" to the value.
