It would be great to have a menu option to delete an assigned squawk if necessary.

I can look into this. But I'm also interested why you would want to remove an assigned code, and if you expect this to influence the server-based code management.

In real life at EDDF the SQ will be assigned with clearance request. As the clearance received flag will not by synct when a new controller comes online, I'm currently testing to assign the SQ only with clearance.

We also use the SQ so show the other controllers (e.g. when working with a coordinator), this flightplan is checked and everything is set, the clearance can be issued.

Some outbounds connect with an assigned SQ already (e.g. the one from the flight before), or I have assigned a SQ for someone not ready for the clearance or flightplan not checked. Then it would be nice to have the option to delete the assigned SQ.

Unfortunately, the plugin environment does not allow to delete an assigned code. There is no specific function for this, and sending an empty string is not accepted (the function returns false). I can only set other specific codes. @Phil061995 So I cannot implement your request due to existing limitations. Any other solution I may help you with to solve your problem?
