NetBox version

v3.0.1

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Is it possible to change the export option to export fields with lowercase names? Because when importing, it needs to be lowercase but it actually exports it with uppercase.
Example:

Name,Status,Tenant,Role,Manufacturer,Type,Platform,Serial number

But it requests the following to import:

name,status,tenant,role,manufacturer,type,platform,serial number,

Something like this also occurs to fileds like "Active", it exports with uppercase but when importing it needs lowecase "active"

Use case

This will benefit when migrating data

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

Exported data is generated to match the current table view, including the headers. This will not be changed. However, you're free to create a custom export template to export data in whatever format you'd like.
