I exported a report that I customeized. One of the columns is a custom customer field. In the CSV and XLS the title is:
entity_column_customer_udcf_9
This is a customized "sales by customer detail report". I have another customized report, a customer contact list, with this same column. For this report the column header is the name of the custom field.
Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you for the quick reply. I know that I can edit the exported CSV or spreadsheet. But I have to do that each time I export a report. Is this a bug in QBO?
When I export a customer list with this same custom column It exports with the correct title.
You're always welcome to get back in this thread, @treas1. I'll route you to the department that handles this situation best.
Yes, the header should remain the same when exporting. Since you're experiencing this issue every time, contact our representatives. They can help you figure out the reasons behind the error.
