The Metadata and Data Editing Form has several issues that need to be addressed to improve user experience and functionality. The following improvements are required:

* Data editing options should be more prominent and highlighted as a separate section.
* Improve the current data editing option text, which is cryptic and unclear, to enhance user experience.
* Include metadata (E.g. index, trait name, date of export, and user ID) in the exported file's header.
* Ensure the index order is the same as that shown in default mode by GN.
* Provide clearer feedback on successful submission of edited data, and fix any issues that cause incorrect or messy data after submission.

UI/UX is a recurring theme in this task, and attempts have been made in the past.  This being a big issue, this should be addressed as a separate issue entirely.
