    Yes, when using upload sessions, you can set the 'client_modified' when you commit the file via /2/files/upload_session/finish using the 'commit.client_modified' parameter. (Likewise, if you're using /2/files/upload_session/finish_batch, it's the corresponding 'entries.commit.client_modified'.) You can click on the types, e.g., `CommitInfo`, in the documentation to expand them for more information.
