Extending the amUser service

Question

Hi all
I tryin to add an user attribute to the amUser service but doesn't seem to work correctly.
I modified the amUser.properties (and amUser_es.properties) by adding:
u1201=Department Number
then modified amUser.xml by adding the tags for the attribute schema:
<AttributeSchema name="departmentNumber"
type="single"
syntax="string"
any="display"
i18nKey="u1201">
</AttributeSchema>
I removed the old service definition and installed the new one.
The problem comes when i try to see the new attribute using Identity Server.
When I add a new user, the "Department Number" attribute appears in the form, i fill it, submit the form and everything's ok. But then when i see the user info the attribute I added is not shown.
I already checked and the attribute exists in the LDAP for that user, but somehow this attribute is not shown when i search the user on Identity Server (only when i add a new user)
Does anyone know if i'm missing something or why this happens ???
Thanks a lot

Hi
It worked!, thanks a lot...
But why the u1201 value didn't work ?? is there something you have to know before setting these values ??
I set the u1201 value following an example of the Sun ONE Portal Customization course (the only difference is that they added it for the mobileTelephoneNumber instead of the departmentNumber)
where do these values come from anyway??
thanks a lot =)
