Config Hub Codelist download in CTE/Production must have filename prefix or suffix - CTE/PROD/Business Alias

When an SME is trying to download codelist from CTE/Production via Config Hub both of them have the same file name which creates to much confusion, Can we have a prefix or suffix as CTE or PROD or at least Business Alias that can indicate from which environment the codelist was downloaded as sometimes it may result in uploading CTE codelist to production or vice-versa due to human error and can create business impact to the customers

What is your industry? Retail
How will this idea be used?

The current Config Hub codelist doesn't provide any way to identify if the codelist is downloaded from CTE/production. If we use downlaod option then both CTE and production codelist have the same file name and there is every chance that an SME by mistake deploys the CTE version of the codelist in production or vice-versa which can have a business impact on the customer.

If the codelist download has a prefix CTE/Production or at least includes Business Alias as a prefix then it will be easy to identify from which environment the codelist belongs and chances of deploying the CTE version to production or vice-versa can be avoided
