There was a PR all the way back in 2013 suggesting this: github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/78...3d2eb5aea8cc02147368

But it got rejected because it had a bit of code redundancy and then just got closed and nobody cared about it anymore

Thats really just such a big pity... Why would anyone reject and ignore such a nice request just because of a bit of code redundancy - instead of helping out and merging
7 years later the system still does not have this functionality

You can move it to a plugin maybe?
