+\brief Improves the dependency graph for multi-configuration generators when you
+set it on a target.
+
+When this boolean property is enabled, \c{CMake} will generate more per-config targets.
+Thus, the dependency graph will be more accurate for multi-configuration
+generators and some recompilations will be avoided.
+
+Since Qt 6.8, this property is enabled by default. For older versions,
+you need to enable it manually to use it.
+However, \l{qt_extract_metatypes} and \l{qt_add_qml_module} were updated to
+support \c{AUTOGEN_BETTER_GRAPH_MULTI_CONFIG} in Qt 6.8, so you will get build
+errors, unless you patch the older Qt version to support it.

+The \c NEW behavior of this policy allows using generator expressions in the

+
+The following value of the \l QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS property is converted to

+If the policy is set to NEW for the above example, the resulting JSON string in
