    Hi GA-Petr Molek ,

    This is very much possible , for that you have to make the custom attribute as "Required" .

    Follow the below steps to achieve the same ,

    1. In the Admin Console, go to Directory > Profile Editor.
    2. Click Okta in the Filters list.
    3. For Okta User (default), click Profile. If Profile is unavailable, click User (default).
    4. Click Add Attribute.
    5. Complete the fields (Data type , Display Name , Variable name etc.
    6. click Yes for the Attribute Required field .
    7. Click Save

    If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
