Excel export tabbed display - change tab name

I've been looking everywhere for an option to not suffix the report name to the Excel tabs when I export a report to Excel using section names as the tabs. The Design view shows me the tabs without the report name suffixed but when I export to Excel it also contains the report name making it hard to navigate and find the correct tab - especially for a report with a long name. Is it possible to change this anywhere so that it only contains the section name and not report name - section name?

Unfortunately, we currently don't have an option to show only the section name without also displaying the report name. This has been the default behavior. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We are more than happy to assist you.

just my two cents here but years ago I do not believe that this was not the default behavior. I agree that this should not be the behavior and will request that others chime in and vote against the tab having the report name prefixed. The way it is currently does not allow for the tab to make sense as Excel has a 31 character limit on the tab name. In my strong opinion this should be changed back as it is not a great business reason for the report name to repeat itself in the tab.
