Protocol Profile ID in receive step

For Outbound files we display PPID in delivey step, bt for Inbound or Outbound files we do not display PPID in inflight steps. For example, for any Inbound file in receive step we can see communication details, the attached screenshot shows AS2_message.dat. So we understand file is received via AS2, bt event details show just POD details and PID, can we also display the PPID or AS2 Sender ( as this info is available in Receive rule). Similarly for outbound also would it be possible to display PPID in event details, attached screenshot.

This is usefully especially in case of migrations, where in customer wants to migrate from one protocol to another and they ask us to migrate and they wont have PPID information, so it would be difficult for us also to check which files are being sent through which PPID. I had worked on a Legget and Plat PER where customer wanted us to switch an FTP to SFTP, and customer was having multiple FTP's existing bt wanting to switch just one. And they were also using multiple FTP's to send data to same TP's. There was confusion post prod move as there was no testing done in CTE.

Displaying PPID ( for SFTP, FTP's) and AS2 sender in case of AS2 receive steps would be helpful during protocol migrations
