Export to Excel - Ability to Specify File Name

We are having an issue where the view's System name has square brackets (e.g. [MP].[ListOfCompanies]) when you export to excel the file is saved as [MP].[ListOfCompanies] List-20250522.xlsx

Opening this in Excel fails with an error:

Sorry, we couldnt fine c:\xxxxxxx\MP.xlsx. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?

Renaming the view does not help.

Microsoft Excel does not like square brackets in its file name.


If we can either use the DisplayName of the view or have the ability to specify the Excel File Name, this will help solve this issue.
