Custom User Profile Properties
- Jul 23, 2018
Hmm, are you sure Juan Carlos? As far as I know (knew) it is not possible to create custom properties using CSOM or any other API. You can however read / set the value of Profile Properties through CSOM, whether they're custom or not...
What exactly is it you'd want to achieve with the custom Profile Property? Do you want it to show up in Delve and People Search results or do you need it for some technical reason? If you only need it to store some user information for technical reasons to control behavior of a custom application you could also consider using Open Extensions

Thanks Paul for the response. Even I am on same page that we can not create the custom user properties in SharePoint Online using CSOM or PowerShell scripts.
Thanks for sharing reference for https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/extensibility_open_users.
