I repeatedly need to clear User Specific Column data from tables, as described in the post below.

My use case is a Fitness App that is Live for 28days to manage a program of events for signed up members. When it’s time to run the next program it is tedious to manually reset several Glide Tables for all users.

Can we add a feature that does this please?

For example, hitting delete when signed in as Any User with a table selected. Or right mouse click on a table shows an option to ‘Delete all USC data’.

Have you explored the multiple row reset trick?  
I expect it would work rather well for this use case. Essentially all you would need to do is change a single value in a single row when a new program starts.

Instead of trying to clear a value in an entire column, I realized we could just change one value on a parent column, load it as a single value in our sheet and then compare that parent value to a column that we set or unset for each row. It’s not about clearing an entire column, it’s about making a value in each row n…

Yes I considered it. But imagine you have a table with 40 columns. It’s tedious to set up… plus you still have to click on every user to delete the array. At least I have not find a way to delete nested arrays…
