How to exclude a file from the assets folder only for release buildType?

How to exclude a file from the assets folder only for release buildType. Imagine the following scenario:

I have a lot a json strings under the assets folder, with names like string_1.json, string_2.json, string_3.json

With the following snippet I can remove all files.

(gradle snippet)

aaptOptions {
    ignoreAssetsPattern "!*.json"
}

The problem is I want to keep some and remove some of them. For example, I want to keep string_2.json

Does the ignoreAssetsPattern has something for exclusions?

(Also this snippet will remove both for debug and release. Any help will be appreciated)

You may add additional dir with assets for your debug build for example where this file contains while release build won't have this dir.
