Extra CMAKE arguments not saved in "Edit Build Configuration"

[Anthony Ambuehl]

I'm using Visual Studio with NCS 2.3.0.  

I want to pass an overlay to the mcuboot cmake. 

In the nRF Connect extension..Applications pane in the build configuratio I select "Edit Build Configuration"

In the "Edit Build Configurations"  under Extra CMake arguments I select "Add argument"

I enter -Dmcuboot_OVERLAY_CONFIG:STRING="D:/AAA/version_overlya.conf"

There is no option to save, I close the window.

I go back and again select "Edit Build Configuration"  

My extra CMake argument is now missing.  It was not saved.

Hi,

This looks like a bug in our VS Code extension.
Thank you for reporting this.

Is it important for you to add this overlay configuration in the VS Code GUI?
If not, I can suggest alternative methods for setting these.

I need to find some way that I can apply a kconfig overlay for specific child images.  I would like to have multiple builds with different config overlays that add specific features.

Please do let me know if you have any recommendations.
