QtCreator 17 ignores CMakeUserPresets.json generated by Conan 2 (works in 16)

      I am migrating Conan 1.x to Conan 2 (with enormous pain), and noticed hat QtCreator 17 (installed via Online Installer, with commercial license) kinda ignores the fact that there's CMakeUserPresets.json generated near CMakeLists.txt.

      Conan2 generates this CMakeUserPresets.json for me:

       

      {
    "version": 4,
    "vendor": {
        "conan": {}
    },
    "include": [
        "../../Debug/GPTDeviceServer/_build/CMakePresets.json",
        "../../Release/GPTDeviceServer/_build/CMakePresets.json"
    ]
}

      If I open CMakeLists.txt near that preset, QtCreator 17 just shows typical Qt kit selection mode, NOT preset mode:

       

      While if I open same CMakeLists.txt with separately downloaded older QtCreator 16.0.2 (from here), I see proper preset selection mode:
