Changeable participant designators on export? #8

Please describe the feature or enhancement you would like to see.
Can the participant designators be changeable on export? e.g. you specify that BLFPa-->JOE. (yes I have stupid designators like BLFPa).

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I transcribe, I often assign participant designators based on fieldwork-relevant concepts, on the fly. But then I end up with really complicated, daft sounding names. When I go to export/print for a data session, I feel I should change all these to easy to use names so the data session folks aren't confused dealing with e.g. 'Community Responsible Grey shirt' (how I remember it) and could use something like 'Bonnie' or 'Jonas'.

Describe the solution you'd like
On export, it'd be nice to set up alternate designators. These could also be set up as part of their participant info or something (like another auto-drop down) that you then select - whichever menu it's easier to put it in. And then on export, you select (either writing it in at that point, or selecting a tick box) what name/designator should show up.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can replace-all of the names, but I actually LIKE having my personal specific names, they are helpful for my own memory. So I don't want to have to put them back again.

Thank you for considering it:::::
