How to sync ENTRA ID Custom extension to SPO Custom Property

Question

Is there a proper way to sync extension attribute from ENTRA ID to SPO user profile Custom Property? 

As per Microsoft I created Custom Property with name called "JobLocation". Microsoft is saying that I can use pnp command called Sync-PnPSharePointUserProfilesFromAzureActiveDirectory -UserProfilePropertyMapping @{"JobLocation"="Extension attribute 6"}

But it's not working for me and I don't see my latest PNP powershell has this command available.

 

Is there another way to bulk sync this information from ENTRAID to this custom property?

Hi @RajKumar,

SharePoint Online user profile syncs properties from Azure AD. There are fixed set of properties that it syncs which cannot be changed. See this link for list of properties that SharePoint online syncs from Azure AD. If you would like to sync additional properties you will have to sync manually using a custom application. There is a user profile bulk import API that you can use to import required properties in a scheduled fashion.
