Solution
If a single custom domain is set up on Okta, then the authorization server setting under Security > API > Authorization Servers > Settings will display the following options:
- Dynamic (based on request domain)
- Okta URL
- Custom URL
If there is more than one custom domain set up on Okta, then the following options will be displayed:

- Okta URL
- Custom URL (essentially dynamic)
NOTE: The third option Custom URL (essentially dynamic) will allow the "issuer" to be any of the custom domains (only custom domains).
