Add custom attribute to Profile card

Hi everyone.
I want to add additional information in profile cards using custom attributes from the local AD.
The problem is that the respective information is populated by a 3rd party internal tool and it creates some unique custom attribute (I can change it if needed with an existing one from AD as long as I know that it will sync back in the cloud) . I want to modify the profile cards using those some custom attributes from AD on-premises (so I won't have to edit Custom attributes from online exchange for each user since there are hundreds of them, but to sync them from AD on-premises premises where I already have that info). could someone help me in this regard?
Thank you

Thank you for reaching out to us. Would like to understand the issue in detail.

Do you have Azure AD Connect setup ? where you can sync custom attributes ?

Reference:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,
yes, we do. we have ad connect that does sync all the user identity part, with exchange being in cloud only. right now I want to extend my AD schema to include the exchange attributes in the attribute editor, but I still don't have any idea which attributes I could sync from on prem to match in o365. I will try the tutorial provided by you.
I already covered the MS documentation regarding this, but they don't specify clearly any custom attributes other than those from Exchange online which I can't populate directly using AD connect

You can add or delete custom properties from a profile card using this guide:

I do hope this answers your question.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
that was my starting point, but the attributes I want to sync are from the local AD which is a problem here because I don't have a clear list of attributes I can sync or have them replicated in office and have them automatically populated using AD Connect

Hi again, as an update, we managed to solve this by extending the AD schema to include a set of attributes and use extensionattribute1 - extensionattribute15 to meet the end goal. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-sync-attributes-synchronized#exchange-online)
Then we updated those attributes in AAD Connect to synchronize them with Exchange Online and we were finally able to see them in Office365.
Thanks all for your suggestions
