Is it possible to set client_modified on an existing file in v2 API?

Being able to set client_modified on an existing file would be really helpful for rclone.

I looked through the API methods and couldn't see a way but I'm hoping I missed it!

Thanks

    It's not currently possible to override the client_modified value set by the client using the API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

        The upload endpoints, such as /2/files/upload, do now allow you to explicitly set `client_modified` when uploading a new version of a file. 

         

        For reference, do you need to be able to do so without uploading a new version?
