Is this configuration option required when an engineer sets up a SCIM 2.

The configuration option "Comment Character" isnot requiredwhen setting up a SCIM 2.0 application in SailPoint IdentityIQ. The "Comment Character" option is generally used for handling comment lines in flat files or CSV file-based connectors. Since SCIM 2.0 is a RESTful API-based protocol designed for managing identities in a standardized way, this option does not apply to SCIM 2.0 integrations. Therefore, it is not a necessary configuration when working with SCIM 2.0 applications.
