@nordmograph Could you rebase this PR to the 6.1-dev branch?

Even if it is only a small change on code, it is some kind of new feature from a functional point of view.

And as 5.4 and 6.0 do not get new features due to our semantic versioning, this PR should be made for 6.1.

See also https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms?tab=readme-ov-file#which-branch-should-my-pull-request-target .

Let us know if you need help with the rebase.

Thanks in advance.
