@brianteeman We had discussed the previous PR #48298 for the same issue among maintainers, and we came to the conclusion that according to the definition here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms#which-branch-should-my-pull-request-target it is not really bug fix and so should be handled like a feature. This means it should be rebased (or remade if that is easier due to the 6.3-dev not being up to date with 5.4-dev) for 6.3-dev. Could you do that? Thanks in advance.

will fix the conflicts later - not that happy that this minor change has to wait almost a year and other PR that are absolutely new features are still being written for 6.2
