Hi, New role attributes not added when creating a simple identity but it can be added after editing the identity. Once edited, then it appears in Simple Identity but writing new doesn't appears in Roles section. Thank you ---

> [@kashif](#): > > New role attributes not added when creating a simple identity Are you using ZAC or `ziti` CLI? Can you provide steps to reproduce? I'm not able to understand the flow you're following. If you could provide step-by-step instructions (or a video/gif) that'd be helpful. ---

@jeremy.tellier, can you please reproduce and verify? ---

No, I cannot reproduce. @kashif - You have to actually select a valid role attribute from the list for the Identity and Service Role Attributes are not exposed in the simple add, the selections add to the policies. I may add this though but it is something I would just use the regular service form for. ---

So if you want to use that form to "Add a New Role Attribute", hit "Enter" when you freeform type. ---

Thank you for your clarification and guidance. Service form is better in this case. In the case I don't need the role/role attributes. How can I then delete it because there's just view option available in Manage Attributes (attribute explorer). Thank you
