The variables are not all collected together conveniently, but the Dashboard
Client section
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html#dashboard-client-configuration>
of the ctest command does list the supported variables associated with each
command. It would seem like setting CTEST_BUILD_NAME should work based on
those docs, so perhaps if you could point us as a minimal complete example
which demonstrates your problem, that might give more clues as to what's
happening for you.
