Hey @JackDurden00, from the provided custom attributes we will need to port them using the overrides functionality. Please refer to the construct and example as follows.

the user pool schema attributes: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cognito-userpool-schemaattribute.html#cfn-cognito-userpool-schemaattribute-stringattributeconstraints

override.ts example:

  resources.userPool.schema = [
    ...(resources.userPool.schema as any[]), // Carry over existing attributes (example: email)
{
      attributeDataType: "String",
      mutable: true,
      name: "email",
      required: true,
 },    
{
      attributeDataType: "String",
      mutable: true,
      name: "code",
      required: false,
      stringAttributeConstraints: {
        maxLength: "256",
        minLength: "1",
      },
    },
...add remaining
  ];
