Upon user import for a new user, how can i generate a unique value in a User attribute (custom property) by checking against existing values of other users?

Hi @BillyMai 

Can you explain the business requirement here, please? What is the need to generate a unique value for the user's custom property when we can use the username field which does this anyway?

hey @timchengappa 
The Username and systemUsername field is already in use to generate a unique value, however the business requirement is that another attribute (similar to an employeeID) needs to be generated which needs to be unique. Not sure how to check against existing values.

This unique value is required by different downstream applications.
