Description
### Brief Issue Summary
Qt Creator has this feature which is very useful:
https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-settings-cmake.html#initial-configuration
Initial Configuration is taken from Kit or preset, and can be adjusted further.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked Qt Creator Initial Configuration documentation and then inspect how CMake Tools handles presets and configuration state. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; done would require an agreed design for separating kit or preset values from the editable current configuration.
