Export results to CSV with correct LDAP headings so it can be re-imported

Export results to CSV with correct LDAP headings so it can be re-imported

Is there any reason why when you export search results to a CSV file the headings are friendly labels rather than LDAP headings?  I can see the point of the friendly labels when you export to XLS or PDF, but not on CSV where the likelihood is you need to do something with the results.

There are times when you run a report to get the accounts you are interested in but then are not able to do what you need to those accounts straight away in the quick actions. In these situations you then need to filter or edit the CSV file & amend the column headings before you can re-import it to do a bulk modification.

If there was a possibility of exporting the results with the correct LDAP headings instead of the friendly headings it would be a lot easier to manipulate your report in ADMgr, export only what you need & then re-import the csv to perform whatever modification you want to do. If there was an option to decide if you wanted labels or the LDAP field names when you export the results that would be even better.
