Hello, I’m new to ISC and I was wondering how I can synchronize a startDate that is in ISO format with a target account attribute that uses the dd-MM-yyyy format. Will ISC attempt to resynchronize the date every time because the formats are different? Thank you very much

@DivyaL_7 Create a new custom identityAttribute , apply dateFormat to this transform and bring the startDate value in dd-MM-yyyy format . For attribute sync , use this newly created attribute , instead of startDate directly .

Hello @sidharth_tarlapally , How can we solve this problem please? I need to sync the dates and not change any format.. thank you

Hello again @sidharth_tarlapally , thank you for your reply, Unfortunately, my client is very strict and does not want us to add the dates as identity attributes…. Are there any alternative solutions please? Thank you so much.

Is there a way to hide t…

@DivyaL_7 The concept of Attribute Sync is to push an authoritative value to the target application. If we create a formatted Identity Attribute, only then, we can update that value on the end system. is it acceptable to bring startDate in the dd-MM-yyyy format? From what I see, these are the on…

What kind of connector is this for? If you can’t use identity profile attribute, I can think of 2 options. Modify provisioing policy or before prov rule to transform your date format to send on modify op and set it to the attribute request in question

Hello, thank you for your reply, It’s a web connector source
