Great! Closing this one as a duplicate of #17851.

You technically wouldn't even have had to close this one because it will stay an issue until the pull request is merged into master. The original issue (#17744) is unrelated to this, I just fixed the issue on the way because I also needed it myself. Doesn't really matter, though.
