default use original column name as prefix

[whopkins2]

Every time I merge 2 queries and expand the new column I have to uncheck "use original column name as prefix". Can we make unchecked the default?

Agreed, this is irritating and a simple simple change

Agreed. I'm not the only one either. https://twitter.com/InsightsMachine/status/1225990551549308932

Additionally this should not say "column" name. It prefixes with the "query" name.

This was actually delivered a couple of years ago, but marking it as completed now in Power Query Online.

@miguel this continues to be an issue on the desktop - wrong default, and wrong text.
