Automatically Insert Zero Width Space for Empty Column Names
**Description:**
Currently, in Power BI Desktop, when a user attempts to clear a column or measure name and presses Enter, Power BI reverts to the default name (such as the original table column name or measure name). However, it is possible to use a zero width space (U+200B) as a column or measure name if it is entered manually, resulting in a column header that appears nameless in visuals.
**Idea:**
When a user removes the entire column or measure name and clicks Enter, Power BI should automatically insert a zero width space (U+200B) as the name, instead of reverting to the default name. This would allow for visually nameless columns or measures without requiring users to manually copy and insert the invisible character.
**Benefits:**
- Streamlines the process for users who want blank column headers, especially for cleaner visuals.
- Reduces the need for manual workarounds or copying special characters.
- Improves usability for both new and experienced users who need nameless headers for aesthetic or practical reasons.
