Sync displaynameprintable attribute to Office 365 as SimpleDisplayName

displaynameprintable attribute to AAD is not an attribute in the list that Microsoft provided. check the link below. you may need to create a custom attribute in AD and fill it as needed and synced to AAD to you use it

and here the link how to change the default config with other attribute flows. but do this with caution because it might affect some features in O365
elieelkarkafi Thanks for your reply. Does this sync to O365 as SimpleDisplayName attribute.

Hi elieelkarkafi, I have to populate displaynameprintable attribute values from onprem AD to AAD connect which should then replicate to Exchange Online as simpledisplayname so that I can hide department details for external user like ( Test User ā Microsoft Corporation ) and for internal user (Test User - Finance Dept)
Is it possible add SimpleDisplayName on the AADConnect as an attribute to Sync from on-premises to AAD/EXO ?
