Edit project settings in VSCode about iar-vsc-build HOT 3 OPEN

Well understood and this is something we are working on.

from iar-vsc-build.

Any chance we could eventually have "common" parts of the configuration (to edit independent of Debug/Release) to simplify setting up Debug/Release/Bootloader builds, and easier file overrides in the future?
Maybe it could be easiest (for IAR devs) to trial a new alternate xml project file format, maybe with its own file extension?

We are increasingly doing things in various projects (with tools from other vendors) that we can't do with our IAR project files.

Work is going on to improve project option handling in the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE and in the future, the plan is to open up for option settings also from VSCode. The project file format will remain common so that you can move between the two environments.
