Path Variables dialog has nothing to do with the environment variables   Environment variables can be specified in your OS or customized in the Run configuration

It is possible to reference an intellij  Path Variable  in an intellij  Run Configuration    In  Path Variables  create a variable for example ANALYTICS VERSION    In a  Run Configuration  under  Environment Variables  add for example the following   ANALYTICS LOAD LOCATION  MAVEN REPOSITORY  com my company analytics  ANALYTICS VERSION  bin   To answer the original question you would need to add an APP HOME environment variable to your run configuration which references the path variable   APP HOME  APP HOME
