Open a dataset for editing
Click on columns tab and create column labels
Click save
Click on a dataset name to get transferred to charts
In charts select visualisation type “Table” , query mode: “raw records”, column : Select all
Click Run
in the generated table the column names are labels, not the database names
Click on CSV button
In the generated CSV file the column names are database column names, the column labels are expected instead.
