Ignore record type prefix on field names when importing to CSV

What is the challenge?

CSV import tool expects just the field name for the columns. However when you export from CSV, the export automatically adds the record name i.e. "Feature"/"Release"as a prefix in front of each field name. Because of this prefix. the CSV import tool is unable to automatically detect the right field to map with.

What is the impact?

I either need to manually map every field to the proper one in the importer, or I need to manually change the name of each field in my CSV before importing. Both are time consuming, especially when importing multiple CSVs.

Describe your idea

Have the CSV importer automatically detect the proper field based on the standard field names we include in a list report CSV export. It should not require manual intervention to successfully import from a CSV I exported.
