Is it p

Answer 1

The console does not have that capability but it can be done in the AWS Command Line Interface.

aws cognito-idp admin-update-user-attributes \
    --user-pool-id xxx \
    --username yyy \
    --user-attributes Name=xxx,Value=yyy Name=ttt,Value=sss ...

Custom attributes use the following syntax:

--user-attributes Name="custom:attributeName",Value="value with space"

You need to set up your credentials with cli first (only the first time), via the command:

aws configure

but after that it is straightforward. For more:
