Can we eliminate the DCT reference?

Hello, can you please consider eliminating the auto generation of the direct abbreviation (DCT) that seems to be automatically populate between fixes in the text portion of the planned route? I don’t mind it appearing so much in the graphical string of fixes along the top of the page, but when I reopen the text entry portion, there are DCTs populated all over the place. I’ve never seen them used in a real life route string, and when I go to copy paste my completed route into my flight plan for PilotEdge or Vatsim, I find the step of deleting those references and unnecessary extra step.

Thank you for reading!

Hi …,

Welcome.

Please see Why is my dispatch system adding a bunch of dct's to my flight plan?

Ahhhh, admittedly I was unaware of the ICAO standard calling for the DCTs. I went to the link below to confirm. Thanks!
