Firstly great work on keeping the regular updates / fixes coming!

I had a read through the recent changelogs and stumbled upon the updated callsign logic. To my understanding it seems like this logic isn't 100% correct (or maybe I am misunderstanding Simbrief and happy to be corrected!). If I have the following flight: U2 7839 // EJU 78VA (easyJet Europe flight 7839) I fill in Simbrief flightplan as follows:
Airline: U2
Flight number: 7839
Callsign: EJU78VA

But according to the 7E logic this would result in the following P2A callsign: U2 7839. Shouldn't logic be:
If callsign is available shouldn't it always take that field as priority? So first 3 characters as Airline lookup code and the rest as flight / tail number in P2A?

The ICAO airline code is EJU and should go in the Airline field.

Flight Number is correct and would be 7839.

If the airline code is entered, you can leave Callsign blank.  P2A will get that from interpreting EJU.

If Airline code is blank, then P2A would use whatever is entered in Callsign, so EasyJet would work here.  or for BAW flights, Speedbird.

If Flight Number is blank, P2A uses the CallSign and Registration/Tail Number to create a GA callsign.  For example, CallSign of Skyhawk and Tail number of N431VB would yield Skyhawk 1 Victor Bravo.

For Military flights, you would enter the CallSign and Flight Number.  For example, you might be flying as a member of a squadron whose CallSign is "Angel" and you are assigned identifier 33, which you would put into the flight number.  This results in a callsign of Angel 33.

If Simbrief's intention was to have the radio callsign in the callsign box would their description not be different than:

The callsign that will be used in the ATC flight plan. If left empty, the callsign will default to a combination of the Airline and Flight Number options (or the Registration if both of those are empty).

To me the above sounds like Simbrief caters for airlines with a difference between Flightnumber and Callsign (7839 vs 78VA). Otherwise it wouldn't be a combination of Airline + flightnumber in the callsign box.
