the header of that colomn is Mileage is it possible to rename it
automaticaly ? (this part isn't important)

Import/export does not handle custom fields. You will need to write your own
code to do that. Mapping an export/import let's you rename field headers but
it still won't do anything for custom fields.

It doesn't matter where the code runs, importing/exporting custom fields
will require code.
