Have the Export Colelction feature list all collection fields by default

The current feature lists the fields from a sample of documents which may miss some fields. Although it is specified in a tooltip, this is quite counter-intuitive in a NoSQL database which is all about document diversity. When a collection has upwards to 100+ possible fields it becomes quite tedious to figure out which ones are missing from the sample data. I would like for MongoDB Compass to find the complete list of possible fields for a selected collection and list them all out be default.
