You might review your call list (slot & name)
If the auto arming is calling out the last entry as the stay then blank
for the away arm..
Try adding, name= "Auto-Armed" in the last= "slot"..

Just my guess you understand,
The last DCS I worked on was like 20 years ago..  ;-)

Best of 2022 to you and all....
