Posted on by JL-14081054-0 18
Hi
 
I'm trying to update an extension attribute in Azure AD and I'm getting an error everytime I try to update with the below. Label6.Text is the ID of the user
 
code I'm using:
 
MicrosoftEntraID.UpdateUser(Label5.Text, {extensionAttribute8:"She/Her"})
 
 
Error:
"error": {
              "code": 400,
              "message": "Unable to parse body as JObject.",
              "source": "default-c8aa047b-166f-4855-90ea-b8ab9d872d1d.06.common.europe.azure-apihub.net",
              "path": "choose[7]\\when[1]\\choose\\when[1]",
              "policyId": "",
              "clientRequestId": "f7166950-e7dc-473b-a8bd-c9ac6a22b55c",
              "dreeSet": true
            }

    Hello @JL-14081054-0, 
     
    You can’t update extensionAttribute8 directly at the root level. Extension attributes must be updated inside the onPremisesExtensionAttributes object.
     
    Please try below:
     
    MicrosoftEntraID.UpdateUser(
        Label6.Text,
        {
            onPremisesExtensionAttributes: {
                extensionAttribute8: "She/Her"
            }
        }
    )

    Thank you @Kalathiya. I updated it and now getting this error: 

    Missing column. Your formula is missing a column 'onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute1' with a type of 'Text'.

    I don't want to update extensionAttribute1. Is there a way to get past this?

    thanks Kalathiya I copied the formula and pasted it on the button but still seeing this error: 

    Incompatible type. The 'onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute1' column in the data source you're updating expects a 'Text' type and you're using a 'Error' type.

    Could you please share the screenshot? There seems to be an error. 
     
    Please try below code: 
    Set(
    varUser,
    MicrosoftEntraID.GetUser(Label5.Text)
);

MicrosoftEntraID.UpdateUser(
    Label5.Text,
    {
        onPremisesExtensionAttributes: {
            extensionAttribute1: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute1), ""),
            extensionAttribute2: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute2), ""),
            extensionAttribute3: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute3), ""),
            extensionAttribute4: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute4), ""),
            extensionAttribute5: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute5), ""),
            extensionAttribute6: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute6), ""),
            extensionAttribute7: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute7), ""),
            extensionAttribute8: "She/Her",
            extensionAttribute9: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute9), ""),
            extensionAttribute10: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute10), ""),
            extensionAttribute11: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute11), ""),
            extensionAttribute12: Coalesce(Text(varUser.onPremisesExtensionAttributes.extensionAttribute12), ""),

    I got it. MicrosoftEntraID.GetUser() connector doesn't return extensionAttribute1 property that's why it's getting this error:
     
    Please try below code: If it's not work, we need to use Graph API and Power Automate to do this:
    MicrosoftEntraID.UpdateUser(
    Label5.Text,
    {
        onPremisesExtensionAttributes: {
            extensionAttribute1: "",
            extensionAttribute2: "",
            extensionAttribute3: "",
            extensionAttribute4: "",
            extensionAttribute5: "",
            extensionAttribute6: "",
            extensionAttribute7: "",
            extensionAttribute8: "She/Her",
            extensionAttribute9: "",
            extensionAttribute10: "",
            extensionAttribute11: "",
            extensionAttribute12: "",
            extensionAttribute13: "",
            extensionAttribute14: "",
            extensionAttribute15: ""
        }
    }
)

    Thanks @JL-14081054-0, 
     
    Now, it's about ipermissions.
     
    The signed-in user needs an Global Administrator Permission. Without an admin role, even if the app has the correct permission, the call will be denied.
