default use original column name as prefix

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

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

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