TomM.97836 (Customer) asked a question.
I'm trying to set some arbitrary values in user profile on user creation based on the incoming request, rather than user input. So instead of having a dropdown that allows the user to select their Locale, I was hoping for a way to have that field pre-populated (and hidden). For example, I was thinking maybe there is a way of sending query string or request parameters to the sign-in page that could be consumed by the sign-in page template javascript to set a value on account creation. But I can't find any documentation or guide that has a similar use case.
I'm trying to use the self-service account creation supported by the hosted sign-in widget. From what I see, the widget has access to the request context, but i'm not seeing anywhere to input a custom parameter from the SP. It supports something like "state", but this is not the correct use case for that. The flow i'm trying to achieve:
- User visit's SP site
- User click's sign-in, is redirected to okta hosted sign-in page
- User clicks "Sign-up"
- User input's name, pass, email, locale is already set (a hidden form field, or something similar)
Has anyone done anything similar?

Hello @TomM.97836 (Customer) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
At this time on Okta side we do not have this type of functionality, and this can not be done. However you can submit a Feature Request on our Idea section, where our engineering team will review the request and this might be implemented in the future.
