Add an attribute to an external identities self-service user flow represented by an externalUsersSelfServiceSignupEventsFlow object. You can add both custom and built-in attributes to a user flow.
Prerequisite: PATCH the user flow with the updated onAttributeCollection event that includes the new attribute.

Examples
Request
The following example shows a request that adds city as an attribute for attribute collection step of an external identities self-service sign-up user flow. Before you can add an attribute to the attribute collection step, you must first add it among the attributes to be collected in the user flow.
