Add custom attribute to Profile card

Hi everyone.
I want to add additional information in profile cards using custom attributes from the local AD.
The problem is that the respective information is populated by a 3rd party internal tool and it creates some unique custom attribute (I can change it if needed with an existing one from AD as long as I know that it will sync back in the cloud) . I want to modify the profile cards using those some custom attributes from AD on-premises (so I won't have to edit Custom attributes from online exchange for each user since there are hundreds of them, but to sync them from AD on-premises premises where I already have that info). could someone help me in this regard?
Thank you

    @EL

    Thank you for reaching out to us. Would like to understand the issue in detail.

    Do you have Azure AD Connect setup ? where you can sync custom attributes ?

    Hi again, as an update, we managed to solve this by extending the AD schema to include a set of attributes and use extensionattribute1 - extensionattribute15 to meet the end goal. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-sync-attributes-synchronized#exchange-online)
    Then we updated those attributes in AAD Connect to synchronize them with Exchange Online and we were finally able to see them in Office365.
    Thanks all for your suggestions
