[Feedback] Cognito > Managing user attributes: how to set Custom attributes via CLI?

**Page**: [`/guides/authentication/managing-user-attributes/q/platform/[platform]`](https://docs.amplify.aws/guides/authentication/managing-user-attributes/q/platform/js)

**Feedback**:

Is the only way to set a “custom attribute” on a Cognito pool via the `amplify console auth` command? If I do this, does it only update for that particular pool and is therefore not defined anywhere in the code configuration of my project? If so, it would be helpful for these docs to clarify that.

In an older iteration of Amplify it was just a cloudformation file, and I was able to add a custom attribute to `UserPool.Properties.Schema[]`
