CMake configuration alternatives in CLion

I have a CMake project in CLion. Under Preferences->Build, Execution, Deployment I have two configurations - Debug and Release:

a

The Configuration: drop-down has the standard CMake build types (Default, Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel) and you can type your own.

I want to have two different configurations - both Release but with different CMake options. I can do that, but they both end up being called Release. If I change the Configuration to something like Release Engineering then CLion passes "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release Engineering" to CMake which obviously isn't what I want.

Even if I do make a Release Engineering config like this:

b

Then it shows up in the Run/Debug Configurations dialog as Release, and you can't really select it - they're obviously indexed by value rather than position so it just uses the first Release entry.

c

Is there any way around this annoyance?

Edit: Also if I make a new RelWithDebInfo configuration it doesn't show up at all in the Run/Debug Configurations dialog.

Did you create a Build type with the name Release Engineering? Space is often used in CMake as separator between arguments. Have you tried creating a Build type without space, e.g. ReleaseEngineering?

Ugh seems to be a flaw of CLion:

The original bug report is from March 2015 so I'm not holding my breath.
