Straight CSV Import - field names dont match

When using the Import from a CSV file, periodically the field name is different - no space, added space, etc.  When that happens, Quickbase automatically selects a seemingly arbitrary field to chose to load the column. 

This seems like a defect, not a feature.  if a column name does not exactly match up, the import function should either deselect that column or default it to an 'Undefined' column. 

Either way it should NOT select a column.  Late at night, it is easy to not notice something like that, the data looks fine since everything lines up.  There should be a color warning and an indicator that the column does not match, or the ability to create a new column (I saw something abut this in other posts...)

Hi, this is happening to me too. We just select the right name, but this concerns me if we move to a more automated approach. Any solutions to this?
