The option to enable "personal pronouns" for Teams/Outlook profile cards is rolling out now. From all of the documentation I've been able to find, this seems to be a standalone feature that stores the pronoun data "in the user's Exchange mailbox" (I presume it's a property of the mailbox, but can't be sure). I've checked a user mailbox in my developer tenant (where the feature is enabled) and cannot see where that value is stored.
I work for a private university and we've implemented "personal pronouns" as a custom field in our SIS (student information system). We would like to use the information from that custom field to populate the pronoun data in M365. Has anyone else been able to do this? I mean, we could create a custom attribute in our local AD for it and connect the SIS data to that. This would at least get the data into the users' AAD profiles via sync. However, connecting that to the control that displays on the profile card is a whole other matter.
