Issue Adding Custom Attributes to Outlook

Question

Recently I ran a graph API to show customAttribute1 on the office profile. (Example of code below)

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/admin/people/profileCardProperties
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "directoryPropertyName": "customAttribute1",
  "annotations": [
    {
      "displayName": "Cost center",
      "localizations": [
        {
          "languageTag": "de",
          "displayName": "Kostenstelle"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

It is working well on the web application, teams, and New Outlook. However, this does not show up on the 365/old outlook. Is there a way to show this custom attribute on the 356 version of Outlook?

Hi @Larry Scola

Welcome to our forum!

Looks like the issue is more related to Microsoft Graph. Please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client.

Based on my search, the profile card on which customization is allowed is currently only available for web apps such as Outlook Web App, OneDrive SharePoint, Office.com, etc. Also, this article may be helpful to you.

Hope this helps!
