The Workday driver can be configured to synchronize on the Publisher channel the value of custom IDs created in Workday. To be able to update the custom IDs on the Subscriber channel, additional steps are needed:

1. For each custom ID to be updated, create a custom attribute to hold the WID of the custom ID.
2. Schema map the WID custom attribute to an attribute with a name of custom ID plus "_Custom_ID_Shared_Reference".
3. Add the WID custom attribute to the filter as publisher sync.
4. If workers in Workday already have custom IDs, synchronize the existing workers so the WID of their custom IDs is stored in the Identity Vault.
5. Add an output transform policy to append the value of this WID custom attribute to the driver-operation-data for any updates to the custom ID.

It would be great to have the shim automatically track the WID of all custom IDs configured in the wdCustomIdList and automatically add the WID to any updates of the custom ID. This would eliminate the need to create custom attributes to store the WID for each custom ID and the need to add output transform policy for each custom ID.
