I am creating a rest API that will create user with custom attribute into our Azure AD B2C tenant using graph SDK.

Sample code below:

 var oUser = new Microsoft.Graph.User()
          {
            AccountEnabled = true, //True by default
            DisplayName = request.DisplayName,
            GivenName = request.GivenName,
            Surname = request.Surname,
            UserPrincipalName = request.UserPrincipalName,
            MailNickname = request.MailNickname,
            MobilePhone = request.MobileNumber,
            PostalCode = request.PostalCode,


            //extesnsion_AccountId = request.AccountId, 
            //LeadId = request.LeadId,
            PasswordProfile = new PasswordProfile() { ForceChangePasswordNextSignIn = true, Password = _configuration["AppSettings:UserDefaultPWD"] }// SET PASSWORD IN CONFIG

          };

          //User custom attributes
          IDictionary<string, object> extensionInstance = new Dictionary<string, object>();
          extensionInstance.Add("extension_{b2c-extensions-app. clientID }_{UserAttribute1}", request.attribute1);
          extensionInstance.Add("extension_{b2c-extensions-app. clientID }_{UserAttribute2}", request.attribute2);
          oUser.AdditionalData = extensionInstance;

          var client = _graphClient.Connect();
          var user = await client.Users.Request().AddAsync(oUser);

However I always get a "The following extension properties are not available" error.

The user attribute is configured in Azure portal.

    This can happen if the extension property TargetObjects property does not include "User". Please double check.

    Somehow I could not able to reply to your post anonymous user-msft , so posting in the answer part.

    Question: I need the same solution in Java SDK using Graph API.

    Below is my code which i have written in Java using microsoft-graph-2.3.1.jar :

        com.microsoft.graph.models.extensions.User user = new com.microsoft.graph.models.extensions.User();
    user.displayName = "xxxxxxxxx";

    List<ObjectIdentity> identitiesList = new LinkedList<ObjectIdentity>();
    ObjectIdentity identities = new ObjectIdentity();
    identities.signInType = "emailAddress";
    identities.issuer = "<tenant-name>.onmicrosoft.com";
    identities.issuerAssignedId = "xxxxxxxx@gmail.com";
    identitiesList.add(identities);

    user.identities = identitiesList;
    PasswordProfile passwordProfile = new PasswordProfile();
    passwordProfile.password = "xxxxxxxxxx";
    passwordProfile.forceChangePasswordNextSignIn = false;
    user.passwordProfile = passwordProfile;
    user.passwordPolicies = "DisablePasswordExpiration";

    Now the challenge is to set **extensionInstance ..... ** similar to above...
    How should I set in Java code how you wrote the same in .Net as above IDictionary<string, object> extensionInstance = new Dictionary<string, object>(); 

    Please do help me on the same.

    Thanks in advance!
