Hello,

I’m currently instantiating an oktaAuth as follows:

```auto
const oktaAuth = new OktaAuth({
  issuer: `https://dev-xxx.okta.com/oauth2/default`,
  clientId: 'xxx',
  scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'email', 'phone'],
  restoreOriginalUri: async () => {
    window.location.href = window.location.origin + DASHBOARD;
  }
})

```

For signup, the self registration form has a non-required mobile phone field. During testing, I entered a number in this field and it’s showing up on the okta user profile, however, for the logged in user, when trying the following:

```auto
oktaAuth.getUser().then((res) => console.log(res))

```

phone\_number does not show up (other fields such as email and name do).

In your self service registration configuration, did you use `primaryPhone` for the field or did you add a custom attribute?

Can you check if either of those user profile attributes are mapped to the `phone_number` attribute on the app user profile?
