Disable certain columns from exporting and if exportable, provided with at least a db_column header.

A lot of our grid screens have columns that are expressions that show some sort of indication – for example a checkbox or some sort of status. Such columns do not have a translation (actually a space ‘ ‘), most of the time they have an icon in the column itself which says enough.

Exporting such a column will mostly make sense for someone that doesn’t have to import it back again. Say for example a certain material order record has a status out-of-stock. Someone might want to export such a list and send it to someone to come up with alternative materials.

It would be nice to be able to register in the SF that certain columns are not exportable to overcome the issue that it would imply that they are importable.

It would also be nice if there is no translation registered (such as a space ‘ ‘) that the export would provide the DB column name.
