My idea is: give the option to save field mapping selections for reuse when uploading contacts

I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea: everyone

Why I think they would benefit from this idea: Eliminate the time consuming task of individually mapping fields per upload and enable some opportunity to automate the task.

Any code or resources to support this idea: Here is a picture of an example (From SuiteCRM a fork of SugarCRM)

Are you willing to work on this idea?: Yes. Will test extensively

What skills and resources do you need to explore this further? Folks with free time and coding skill

Actually, this feature is already present.  
If you give your column headers the proper alias (name as in your custom fileds list) then its prefilled 🙂
