All ideas are welcome. Just because the Idea doesn't make it into the product immediately does not make it a bad idea.
This is one of several instances where the developer should be able to configure how Construct Auto Gen configures the FullConstruct Page and Excel Integration Columns.
We prefer to configure boaConstructComplete as Disabled in Views and Hidden in Excel.
We use a Stored Procedure as a Workaround to insert a record in the PageColumn table to hide boaConstructComplete in Excel.

Autoconstruct was meant to be a jumpstart to building DCS pages and is not expected to create perfect pages as you specifically want them on build. It is expected that the user would build when necessary, then manually modify the page as they see fit. In order to prevent those changes from being overwritten, there is a setting called 'Construct Auto Gen Level' on the vertical view of the Full Construction Target Source. I have pasted the DSP Help related to the field below. You should not need to run any stored procedure to bring back your changes if you use the below setting.
Construct Auto Gen Level
This option controls whether the Construct page is updated or overwritten. Values are:
NOTE: This field defaults to Rebuild.
I have attached a screenshot for you to review. On a side note, I think we can consider making the boaConstructComplete flag itself configurable.
