Set Linked Object Value for Primary - Okta Workflow
Hello,
I'm having an issue with the Set Linked Object Value for Primary Okta workflow card. I want to create a Manager:Subordinate Linked Object definition using said card so I plugged in my manager's user id and my user id to test. I'm unsure as to what to put into the Primary Name field - I've tried entering: Manager:Subordinate, Manager, my manger's full name, and my manager's first name but they all result in a 403 error.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response. After reviewing the Set Linked Object Value for Primary documentation and Linked Object API documentation, I realized what my error was.
I did not have a Linked Object definition setup yet - I assumed Set Linked Object Value for Primary
action card would do that for me. I solved this with a Custom API Action card by creating an object with the keys found here and used a Compose card with the `/api/v1/meta/schemas/user/linkedObjects` call.
After running that flow, I was able to use the Set Linked Object Value for Primary card without any issue.
This was a very helpful learning experience. I'm curious, are you able to create the linked object definition through the GUI or can this only be done through the API? Are there other actions that can only be done through the api - do you know which ones?
Thank you.
