Hi James,
As you said, the command Dsmod user can be used to modify attributes of one or more existing users in the directory. However, this command could not be used to modify the custom attribute, its syntax has been set.
You can use builted in Active Directory Attribute Editor to modify a user's attribute:
Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
Locate the User container, and then find the user which you want to modify.
Right-click the user, click Properties, and then click the tab
Attribute Editor.
Slect the attribute which you want to modify, click Edit, modify the value, and then
click OK to save the change.
For your information, please refer to the following figure:
