Can columns with different names be merged in a report?
I am trying to create a report to consolidate task lists that are managed by other people. One person may have used "start" and another used "start date" for the same purposed.
Is there a way to merge those into a single column in a report, short of forcing everyone to use the same column names? I do have the option of having them add a column, but renaming columns would be much messier.

@Andrée Starå is there a list of current community requested enhancements that smartsheet devs are working on? This would be a much needed feature for our team. Small little column name distinctions are causing a severe problem in our reporting structure. Global Updates to edit column names so they do match are also giving us the following error:
Error (1031): INVALID_COLUMN_INDEX: column index is outside of the bound or duplicated"
