Thanks for this. Shouldn't the fact that ``LINK_FLAGS`` is a string property and not a list property be in the ``cmake-properties`` documentation? The version of the documentation for my version of CMake (3.4.3) doesn't say what the property type is.
Perhaps though the plain string properties predate the list properties which is probably why the documentation does it the other way around e.g. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.4/prop_dir/COMPILE_OPTIONS.html is documented explicitly as a list property.
COMPILE_OPTIONS deprecated the old COMPILE_FLAGS property (which was plain string based). For LINK_FLAGS the same thing was supposed to happen at some point but the topic working on this seems to have stalled.
