This question is similar to [Group attribute externalId is not passed when using push groups to app function (SCIM)](https://devforum.okta.com/t/group-attribute-externalid-is-not-passed-when-using-push-groups-to-app-function-scim/19740)

We are integrating SCIM with Okta. While pushing users, Okta sends ExternalID of the user in the API. However, while pushing groups, externalID is not sent.

We ran into this error while publishing our app template in OIN. Within the template, I do not see any option to customize group attributes or map group attributes.

How do we configure Okta to send externalID of groups like other IdPs like EntraID?
