Data Modules - For data server connections and uploaded files, turn off/on cleansing of table and column labels

This is how it works today:

For data server connections and uploaded files, the table and column labels are cleaned up in English and some other languages in the following way:

  • For single files, the file extension, such as .xls or .csv, is removed from the table label. For example, Customer_analysis.csv is changed to Customer Analysis.
  • Characters such as underscore (_), dash (-), or slash (\) are replaced with the space character. For example, Vehicle_class is changed to Vehicle Class.
  • In column labels, all words are capitalized. For example, Vehicle class is changed to Vehicle Class.
  • Camel case strings are split into individual words. For example, OrderDate or orderDate is changed to Order Date.
  • Extra spaces are removed.

    Clarification: Is it possible to manually delete an xml-tag or jason-tag  in order to explicitly turn off this cleansing feature?
