@notaplatypus Thanks for the feature request. When you get a chance, please [introduce yourself here](https://forum.getodk.org/t/-/6671). I'd also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

@ggalmazor I could have sworn we had discussed adding this to Briefcase and Aggregate, but I can't find any evidence. Maybe it was all in my head! I do think it'd be very nice to have. Any risks to implementation that you see?
