Also voted. It will be great if this behaviour is moved as option to assistance settings. IRL (as I use to do) it’s normal to write down (set on stand by) and readback the ATC requests, then set it live. If you don’t set the transponder correctly, you may expect a request from ATC to check your transponder settings. Sometime they request you for sqawk ident. And btw. they don’t confirm radar contact all the time IRL.
