BorisK.14411 (Customer) asked a question.
Hello,
We are trying to achieve the username construction workflow setting up an additional field for a "Preferred Username" which is used by the workflow to construct "preferedusername@domain.com". At this point this is achievable.
Does someone knows any way to do a query about the unique username and return it to the self-registration form as real-time validation?
Greetings!

Are you referring to the feature:
https://help.okta.com/en-us/Content/Topics/users-groups-profiles/usgp-self-service.htm
https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/set-up-self-service-registration/main/
If so, I don't see how you would be able to tie it into a Workflow. It appears to be just a pre-built form.
Yes, this is the feature that we use for the self-registration. We can add additional fields there from the form editor. The additional field is called "Preferred username" and up to this point it's working. But we cannot figure out if it's somehow possible to do a real-time check if the chosen username is actually available and return an error.
Unless it is built into the feature (SSR) I don't see how it could be done. What you are basically asking for is an "inline hook" which are not supported by the Workflows product (even though technically it is possible to leverage them there are typically latency concerns).
I am not an expert on this feature (it is not in my wheel house, and not part of the Workflows product) but I don't believe the SSR gives you any sort of options to "Send the form as a payload" to a "remote" system to perform some sort of check, then provide back an updated payload to be submitted for the user registration.
You may want to inquire in one of the alternate non-Workflows sections such as "Administration" or open a support case to determine for certain if there is the possibility, if the possibility is on the road map, and suggest for it to be if it is not.
