Custom field name should be used for column header in export

Description

Custom field names aren’t appearing as expected in exports.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. create a list containing a custom field

  2. export the list to CSV

  3. open the CSV

Expected results: the custom field name heading matches the custom field name

Actual results: the column heading is custom_field_[UUID]

this is not an issue in the Ramsons release

Additional notes: As part of this fix, we will change all field names to use their human-friendly names in the export (to match the Lists app experience)

confirmed this is working as expected in Eureka snapshot

Tested on Eureka Snapshot

Everything looks good.

All looks fine, after updating the custom fields

But after removing the custom fields, the exported csv file, still contains the custom fields columns. This issue will be covered here -

All done! I also added automatically replacing the em dashes — with - because Excel gives encoding errors otherwise

the fix for this will update all column headers to use the translated names in the CSV (which is far more user friendly)

Done
