Builds folders are generated at the same directory level as the project's source folder

[Pete Carter]

My project is in:
/home/user0/Projects/cpp/beginning-cpp-0

When i build the project, the builds folders are generated in the same directory as the project's folder, which is:
/home/user0/Projects/cpp/

Now cpp/ contains:
beginning-cpp-0/
and
build-beginning-cpp-0-Desktop_Qt_6_5_2_GCC_64bit-Debug/
and
build-beginning-cpp-0-Desktop_Qt_6_5_2_GCC_64bit-Release/

Why are the builds folders generated at the same directory level as the project's source folder ?

How to change the builds folders destination to be inside the project's folder, inside beginning-cpp-0 ?

The default setting for Default build directory in Build & Run settings is:

../%{JS: Util.asciify("build-%{Project:Name}-%{Kit:FileSystemName}-%{BuildConfig:Name}")}

Change the ../ to ./ and you'll get the build directory in the source directory.
