  4. To enable a custom attribute, set its toggle to ON.

Note: Gopher does not currently support multiple value array-based custom attributes for users. A strikethrough denotes these fields.

Enabling a custom attribute clears the existing contents. It adds a new color-coded field group to the properties & attributes step in the Create users or Update properties & attributes steppers. Loading, creating, and updating users lets you include or update values in the columns designated for the enabled attributes.
