If i can get these custom attributes synced by aad connect then into sp online that would be ideal.

Hello Guys,

Is there any news about SharePoint Online User Profile Sync with AAD Connect custom mapped properties?

Let me explain a little, i need some custom properties already mapped on AAD Connect on SharePoint User Profile, on my research i cannot find any way except developing OOB script/EXE to perform this action.

Best Regards,

Sergio.

  For now at least, there is no option to sync custom Active Directory attributes with SharePoint Online automatically.
  
  I followed the instructions of this article and implemented a console application that do the job.
