Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently AttributeUpdateChange is missing a method for deleting an attribute. It can only add/update attributes.

Describe the changes you are looking for

I need to be able to delete attributes.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

I tried passing an empty string but it creates an attribute with empty string.

This is really a pain point for all developers that need to use note_attributes for their merchants. Right now, we need to create webhook to check for empty note_attributes and remove them.

checkout attributes is a useful when need to be commnuicated between checkout extension on different page but no need to show on admin order page.
So useApplyAttributeChange hook need to have delete attribute as well.
While using cart ajax api, cart attribute' key is removed when set null value to the key. but it doesn't work on useApplyAttributeChange hook

This is 100% needed, it is causing us a lot of pain as we now need to set the attribute to an empty strings when it shouldn't be there at all.

With the attribute still being present, we're having issues when working with other integrations and apps.

Is there really no workaround atm?

less than 4 months to the switch off of the custom checkout, and still missing basic features like that...
Fun fact: using cart ajax API from frontend, actually delete attributes if they are set to empty string :| MEH

We really need this, there's a lot of checkout attributes we need dynamicalled added/removed so merchants can print the order slip and have it show up correctly

Can't believe it was proposed 11 months ago and still nothing. Shopify is pushing everyone really hard on checkout extension but doesn't provide basic fuctionality.

I cannot send empty string value for some Order Note Attributes because of ERPs.
I really need a solution to this issue, The real world is different, and contains accidental complexity and tech debt.

Thank you in advance for the support!

This has been brought up in Shopify's Checkout Extensibility AMA (https://community.shopify.com/c/community-amas-ask-me-anything/partner-ama-checkout-extensibility/m-p/2675227/highlight/true#M717).

Hopefully this will get it looked into.

Do you have any information about it? We're facing some issues with our partners because of this.
