Description

Potential enhancement brought up to me by @pLeBlanc93 .

Currently, Data Mapper uses the true field names for mapping, though the xml saves the Alias Names for the fields as well. It doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult technically to give the user the option to choose between the alias name and real name of the fields while they are mapping.

Would this be a worthy enhancement?

Secondly, there are two formats I can think of that could work. One where both fields are changed with one check box or one where you can choose source field and target field individually (see pictures below). Which would be better?
