Hello All
We use Okta to sync all our users to O365, as you know Microsoft doesn't allow 3rd party tools to sync custom attributes. I was wondering if there is any other way to sync this attribute to O365.

Being an object that is synchronized with another directory, this attribute is read-only in Azure. Exactly the same situation as when trying to do it from the Azure management console, from PowerShell, etc.Therefore, Okta workflows (or API calls in general), are not a solution.
@JamesTran-MSFT Any other solutions do you think ?

@Joel Saripelli Apologies for the delayed response, As you are using Okta to sync attributes, not much support we can offer, however if you have an Azure Subscription, I can enable one time support option for you where you can work with our support team to discuss further on this.
@Joel Saripelli Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you are trying to sync custom attributes via Okta sync tool to O365/Azure AD, however Okta sync is not allowing to sync custom attributes.
We dont have expertise to comment on the Okta sync why custom attributes are not syncing to O365/Entra ID, Okta team would be the best to comment on this.
If the custom attributes are less in number to be updated, you can explore this option - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/application-post-extensionproperty?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http of creating attributes manually via Graph explorer for the users or consider moving to Entra Connect/Entra cloud sync.
