Default attribute values in a mapping
You can use a mapping to create attributes on the target resource. The following mapping excerpt creates a phoneExtension attribute with a default value of 0047 on the target object:
{
"target": "phoneExtension",
"default": "0047"
},The default property specifies a value to assign to the attribute on the target object. Before IDM determines the value of the target attribute, it evaluates any applicable conditions, followed by any transformation scripts. If the source property and the transform script yield a null value, IDM applies the default value in the create and update actions. The default value overrides the target value, if one exists.
