Sorry but I don't understand.
There is mention of the URL and of a number between 1 and 15

Please can you clarify this.

Cannot find the 'URL' you refer to ...

Below you see the fields from XtensionAttrib fields in AD - when enabled:

Does this add a field that can be customized in AD (I don't see that it does) or does it let you assign a single attribute to each field (1-15) that can be used on all users?

Not sure I understand ... let me give you an example as you cannot manipulate the field content using AD as your data source.

What you enter in your AD fields, can be used in your email signatures.

Yes I think so.

It sounds like each xtensionattrib(1-15) field can have only one unique attribute. I wanted to create an new custom field that I could then edit in AD similar to the other default fields.
I work for an architectural firm and the users need a field for initials after their name, i.e. AIA, RID or LEED AP. Right now I'm sticking it in an AD field that was not intended for this info but it's working.
Is there another way?

It just clicked for me. I'm good. Thanks.
