Hidden columns should be included in excel export if exportable set to true #10080

Hey!

Is it possible for excelExporter feature to export columns that aren't shown in the UI? For example, we want to export 'startdate', 'duration', and 'effort' columns but not display them on the Gantt chart. I tried adding these columns with 'hidden: true', 'exportable: true', but when a column isn't displayed, it also isn't exported. How can I resolve this issue?

I have provided the client with a workaround where they can add columns to export (even the ones which are hidden). But I believe it would be better if we have a config which can be used to configure the behaviour. By default it will be set to false (will make sure the current behaviour stays as it is) and can be set to true if one wants to include it.
