How to properly add include paths in STM32CubeIDE CMake Project?

I'm working on an STM32 project using STM32CubeIDE with CMake as the build system. I need to add custom include paths for my own header files.

I tried to include my_folder from C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes, but it doesn't work.

Note that under C/C++ Build -> Settings there is no settings to include anything, which are available only when working with STM32CubeMX/STM32CubeIDE Project

Right-click a folder in the Project Explorer:

I would hope that would do things "properly" ...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

The Add/remove include path... option is not clickable...
