Update an attribute just in case is empty

Question

Hi,
I need to disable the provisioning of one attribute unless the value of that attribute on the target system is empty.
I've tried setting this attribute on the resource form to the "Default" value but the active sync adapter is still overwriting the attribute value on the target system.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,
I think that the value was overwritten by the User Library. Now I've created a dedicated global attribute to the target system with your condition and everything works correctly.
activeSync:
<Field name='global.ADfirstname'>
<Display class='Hidden'/>
<Expansion>
<ref>activeSync.firstname</ref>
</Expansion>
<Disable>
<eq>
<ref>activeSync.firstname</ref>
<ref>waveset.attributes.firstname</ref>
</eq>
</Disable>
</Field>
Resource Form:
<Field name='accounts[$(RESOURCE_NAME)].firstname'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='title' value='firstname'/>
</Display>
<Default>
<ref>global.ADfirstname</ref>
</Default>
</Field>
Thank you,
David.
