We are working on setting up a custom saas connector for aws and are in the process of configuring attribute sync. There seems to be some sort of mismatch (or maybe bug) on the configuration that we are having trouble working through. Here are the details, any help is appreciated.

The attributes are visible in the UI when we go to that page, but when selecting them we get an error on save:

A GET on /beta/sources/2c918086814e69cd01816da8ab716d8a/attribute-sync-config returns

```json
{
    "attributes": [],
    "source": {
        "name": null,
        "id": "2c918086814e69cd01816da8ab716d8a",
        "type": "SOURCE"
    }
}

```

and doing a PUT with

```json
{
  "source": [
    {
      "type": "SOURCE",
      "id": "2c918086814e69cd01816da8ab716d8a",
      "name": "AWS IAM Identity Center"
    }
  ],
  "attributes": [
    {
      "name": "lastname",
      "displayName": "Last Name",
      "enabled": true,
      "target": "FamilyName"
    }
  ]
}

```

returns the below, even with the FamilyName being present in account schema

```json
{
    "messages": [
        {
            "locale": "en-US",
            "text": "A target account attribute \"FamilyName\" is missing from the sources account schema.",
            "localeOrigin": "REQUEST"
        },
        {
            "locale": "en-US",
            "text": "A target account attribute \"FamilyName\" is missing from the sources account schema.",
            "localeOrigin": "DEFAULT"
        }
    ],
    "detailCode": "400.1 Bad request content",
    "trackingId": "96db07fc294649a0b4ce43570087bf84"
}

Any chance you’ve edited either the identity attributes or account attributes after configuring attribute sync? I’ve seen that cause issues before

The account attribute “PreferredLanguage” being visible in attribute sync UI but not being mapped to any identity attribute could also cause issues
