Applies To
  • Okta Workflows
  • Microsoft 365 / Office 365 (M365 / O365)
  • Azure Active Directory connector
  • Update User card
Cause

The error will occur when attempting to update any of the following O365 user attributes in the same request with other attributes not listed here: 
 

Display Name (Update User card)Microsoft Attribute Name
About MeaboutMe
Birthdaybirthday
Hire DatehireDate
Interestsinterests
My SitemySite
Past ProjectspastProjects
Responsibilitiesresponsiblities
Schoolsschools
Skillsskills


For example, updating Birthday by itself is successful. When attempting to update the Birthday in the same request with other attributes not listed in the table above, such as Department, the error will occur:
Error Message 

This is a limitation of the Microsoft Graph API, as documented in Microsoft: Update user, rather than an issue with the Update User card.

Solution

When attempting to update any of the attributes listed in the table above, use a separate Update User card that does not include other O365 user attributes. Note that any combination of the attributes listed in the table above can be updated in a single Update User request.
