Power Automate: How to use the Azure AD connector and error message "Unable to update the specified properties for objects that have originated within an external service."

Hi, I have two questions regarding the Azure AD connector.

 

1. When we try to update the "customizable extension attributes" fields we get the error "Unable to update the specified properties for objects that have originated within an external service", is there anyway to get around this? Azure AD doesn't seem to be synced with on-prem (Azure AD Connect is not installed and sync has never run) so I don't understand why we get this error. 

 

2. For the "Update AD user" connector we have "Additional Properties" that can be added, which properties are they referring to and how can we use these fields?
