Complains about valid build preset

      The following CMakePresets.json file:

      {
  "version": 2,
  "configurePresets": [
    {
      "name": "msvc",
      "generator": "Visual Studio 17 2022",
      "architecture": "x64",
      "binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/build/msvc",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES": "Debug;Release"
      }
    }
  ],
  "buildPresets": [
    { "name": "common",
      "hidden": true
    },
    { "name" : "msvc",
      "inherits" : ["common"],
      "configurePreset" : "msvc"
    }
  ]
}

      when used in QtCreator gives the following warning message:

      error: Build preset common is missing a corresponding configure preset.

      but cmake presets documentation states [1]

      If a preset is hidden, it cannot be used in the --preset argument and does not have to have a valid configurePreset, even from inheritance. hidden presets are intended to be used as a base for other presets to inherit via the inherits field.

      So I think the error message is incorrect.
