Updating a Identity Attribute to TRUE so its searchable in IDN

When I update the attribute to True so its searchable I get a 200 and nothing gets updated?? I am seeing the Max Limit is 15 but when I turn them to False so I can set the True same deal I get the 200 but its not updating in the gui?

I think standard needs to be set to false as well

This updates an existing identity attribute. Making an attribute searchable requires that the system , standard , and multi properties be set to false. A token with ORG_ADMIN authority is required to call this API.

Hello Tom,
I had similar issue while trying to make Identity attribute searchable. My issue was resolved by making standard property value to false. You should do the same and it will work for you as well.

Regards,
Santosh

@BenNelson
All values are set to false and the 200 flashes a TRUE still!

According to the documentation for that PUT, it looks like 200 is expected response. Did it work?

@BenNelson No I have a ticket in with sailpoint to see why its not updating.

Hello Tom,

You should set standard to true, searchable to true and system to false in order for the attribute to be searchable.

Hi @TJ21,
Can to try without giving sources in body

{
"name": "",
"displayName": "",
"standard": **true**,
"type": "string",
"multi": **false**,
"searchable": **true**,
"system": **false**,
"sources": **null**
}

Thank you!

Hi @TJ21,

Good Day!

When i tried in response also searchable is coming false please check the screenshot for your reference;

Thank you!

So the reason you can’t change that specific attribute (personal email) is because its locked on sailpoints end I was able to choose another attribute to false out so I could enable a true searchable attribute.

Thanks @TJ21, I was having a similar problem with “multi=true”. Tried to change it using vscode and API but neither worked.

@mehuljogi Did you try searchable and other attribute as false and just multi-true?
