Updating User_ID in Worday

Hi,

We have the need to update the User_ID attribute in Workday, however, I am unable to find an example of this anywhere. I have tried and tested using what I know and have found, however, this has been unsuccessful. Has anybody else been able to do this and willing to share an example?

I am able to update the email in Workday using the below OOB config. 

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. 

<bsvc:Maintain_Contact_Information_for_Person_Event_Request bsvc:Add_Only="false" bsvc:version="${API_VERSION}"> 
<bsvc:Business_Process_Parameters> 
  <bsvc:Auto_Complete>true</bsvc:Auto_Complete> 
  <bsvc:Run_Now>true</bsvc:Run_Now> 
</bsvc:Business_Process_Parameters> 
<bsvc:Maintain_Contact_Information_Data> 
  <bsvc:Worker_Reference bsvc:Descriptor=""> 
  <bsvc:ID bsvc:type="WID">${user.customproperty1}</bsvc:ID>

Hello @PeteWilson,

Only Contact Information can be write back to the workday, not the userid or systemusername.

Thanks.

If you find the above response useful, Kindly Mark it as "Accept As Solution".

Limitation from saviynt / workday ?
