Using a Workflow to add an attribute to a user based on the value of another.
I have an attribute employeeStatus on a user which could be a any one of a number of static values (e.g. A or I or S or T) and then want to update another attribute in Okta with a different value based on the employeeStatus value that corresponds to that static value
for example a user has an employeeStatus of A and I want to add an attribute to the user of employeeStatusLabel with the value of Active based on the A value
can i do something like this in a workflow with a table?
I had a look but couldnt see how to say if employeeStatus = A which is in column 1 of the table, take the value from column 2 of that row and add it to employeeStatusLabel

It sounds like you want to leverage a Lookup table. They are extremely fast.
If the A B C D you were talking about is a user input (Not something done by a system but by a user typing it in) I would would add a couple extra steps to normalize the data first. Something like this:
The "replace" with a regex of /s will get rid of any white space. And the to-lower will make all text characters lower case. So when you evaluate in the lookup table it will always evaluate against a lowercase value (or to upper if you want to do upper case). This way if one person types in (a) and another types in (A) and yet another ( A) etc. They will all end up as (a) when evaluated.
