As it is now mode code '0' is exported for a QSO when there is no match between the TX mode and the standardized TX modes in IARU-R1 VHF Handbook page 94. This is in line with the standard. But the mode code "7" a.k.a. "RTTY - MGM" (MGM = Machine Generated Mode) is a generic TX mode for all digital modes like FT4, FT8 etc.

Given that there are new digital modes created literally every day a way of mapping these digital modes to mode code "7" would be beneficial. My proposal below proposes a field and when the TX mode matches that field the mode code "7" is used.
