Hello Team,

Wondering if there is any limit on number of attributes, that can be configured for attribute sync. I was able to set up 15 attributes for sync but it throws error when 16th attribute is added to the sync.  
Error: The request was syntactically correct but its content is semantically invalid.

Thanks,  
Priyanka

Welcome to the developer community Priyanka. According to the [attribute sync best practices](https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityNow-Articles/Best-Practices-Attribute-Sync/ta-p/77801?_ga=2.260157066.604728744.1655735172-653237360.1622577682&_gl=1*1s7ypsm*_ga*NjUzMjM3MzYwLjE2MjI1Nzc2ODI.*_ga_SS72Z4HXJM*MTY1NjA4NjUyNi45NDEuMS4xNjU2MDg2NTQ1LjQx), there shouldn’t be any limits to the number of attributes you can add. I would double check that your API request is correct and valid.

We had similar a issue with a attributeSync, It was because of case sensitivity in our case. we had “SN” in create profile when we saw this issue and when we changed it to “sn” it worked without issues. Please try the same for the new attribute which you’ve added
