Hi - We currently populate country from AD to Okta, and an admin has shown me the full set of attributes in the console which include that value. When using the user API it returns most attributes, but not country. Is that default behavior, is there a way to specify others to include?

Was that AD attribute mapped to an Okta schema attribute or is it only showing up via the additional attributes screen on user profile tab:
