xeis3 (xeis3) asked a question.
Hello,
We have a custom array attribute, used for SCIM to an application.
To prevent typo's in the values, we would like to start using an enumerated lust of values.
But this option is greyed out for existing custom attributes.
Creating a new attribute creates 2 issues:
This will need a new variable name. And all current values will need to be transferred from the current attribute to the new one, for all users.
Is it somehow possible to add an enumerated list of values to an existing (array) custom attribute?
regards,
Ans

@xeis3 (xeis3) - I don't believe this will be possible. They are two different dataTypes.
One is an Array of Strings (what you currently have) and the other is an Array of JSON Objects. When you create the attribute you are setting the dataType and to the best of my knowledge it cannot be changed after (which is why you are seeing the grayed out option).
Hello Tim,
Thanks for your response. I had not realized that the Enum option changed the datatype.
kind regards, Ans
