Default Filename when saving from phpmyadmin

Hello Is it possible to tweak a setting on the server to allow each account to add date time to the filename default DB save / export function? At the moment, for an individual account, when accessing phpmyadmin to create a manual DB download, the default setting in the Export area is "@DATABASE@" However, I would like to make the default file name to have the date/time for example; "@DATABASE@_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S". I don't want to do that for each individual client account on the server in phpmyadmin - rather, I would prefer to make that the default at the server level to apply to all accounts on that server - is that possible? Thanks

  Yes, that would be fine. Where does one make that change on the server?

  /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php. May occasionally be overwritten during cPanel updates.

  Thanks! Is there a place (template?) to make the change so that it is not overwritten?

  Hi! You can add the config.inc.php file (use the full path) to /etc/cpanelsync.exclude
  to have it excluded from future cPanel updates:
