I’m looking at the Edit Identity form, and trying to figure out if I can make a new editable “identity” type identity attribute. I’m having some issues, and wondering whether this is supposed to work OOTB.
OOTB, making standard identity type attributes editable (Manager, Administrator), works fine. We get the identity dropdown, we can edit, it’s provisioned correctly to the cube, all is well.
If I make a new custom editable identity attribute of type ‘identity’, this will also show in the ootb edit identity form, with the identity picker. I can select a new identity as value, submit, and it’ll get provisioned. But it provisions wrongly to the cube XML, basically adding the selected identity’s whole cube to the entry key, instead of just the identity reference.
I’ve reproduced this on the Edinburgh SERI image as well (see screenshots).
→ should we be able to do this easily? Can’t find anything on compass on it.

Did you try using any of the existing identity type attributes that comes by default ( i think 5) which is not used for anything else for this purpose and see how it behaves instead of new extended attribute?
OOTB there is no limit on the amount of editable identity attributes. Each attribute can be edited by setting the ‘Edit Mode’ to Permanent or `Temporary’
Where with Temporary the attribute will be overwritten when the Source Mapping provides a new value during an aggregation task. With Permanent it will remain until changed via the edit Page (or any rule/workflow).
Hi Remold, thanks for your reply I’m aware you can extend the identity model with named attributes to create more editable string attributes. But check out the image in my post - extending editable attributes of type ‘identity’ is causing some issues. However, as Satish suggested, we can use the 5 ‘identity’ type OOTB attributes to fix that.
I’m not sure if there’s a way to extend with additional ‘identity’ type named attributes, but the standard method doesn’t seem to be working (and there’s nothing on this in the compass whitepapers)

Found this thread in community as well, looks like identity to identity relationship is not currently supported for new extended attributes, we may have to use only the 5 OOTB attributes based on comment from Mike from Sailpoint
