While managing user attributes, I have noticed a few things to keep an eye out for. If you move or delete an attribute from a category, re-order it to the highest numbered position first (Farthest away from 1). If you don't you will likely be missing some of the other attributes from the list in the category after the move/delete. This is relatively easy to repair.
1) Export the /file/User.xml metadata using the export utility.
2) Look for the metadata-attachment section of the xml. This section lists the ordering of the attributes in the categories. When you find the category in question, it will likely be missing entries for the affected attributes.
They look like this:
<metadata>
<name>2</name>
<value>SIS Affiliation</value>
<category>categories.Internal Attributes</category>
</metadata>
3) Re-add metadata sections for the missing attributes.
4) Import the /file/User.xml
5) I had to restart the OIM instance in order to see the changes, it doesn't seem to refresh this metadata on the fly. UPDATE: PurgeCache All worked.
