[Due for payment 2026-07-08] [Export current view] Standardize export filename and rename the export option #94056

Description

Problem

Two small polish items came up while testing "Export current view":

1. Inconsistent export filenames

The downloaded filename differs depending on which export flow is taken:

  • Small set / immediate download → Expensify-2026-06-19 09_30_51.006.csv
  • When prompted to wait or send via Concierge (even when choosing to wait) → search_export_6a350c7b2fa9e9.03383144.csv

We should standardize on a single filename format regardless of the export flow.

Decisions from discussion:

  • Drop the date and time from the filename — the OS already records the download timestamp, and existing Classic/NewDot exports use arbitrary, inconsistent date formats anyway.
  • Keep a unique ID so Concierge-delivered files don't collide.
  • Proposed format: Expensify_<Current_View>_<unique id>.csv

2. Redundant export option name

In the UI the option reads "Export current view", but the user has already clicked Export to reach it, so the leading "Export" is redundant.

  • Rename the option to "Current view".

Solution

  • Update the export option label from "Export current view" → "Current view".
  • Standardize the exported filename across all export flows (immediate download and Concierge delivery) to Expensify_<Current_View>_<unique id>.csv.
