This field already exists? Or there’s a plan for it to exist?

We are hoping to use this for Stanford mobileID

If not, investigate https://github.com/folio-org/folio-custom-fields

As per UXPROD-2936, this functionality has been created using custom fields and will go into the juniper release.

There's also a field for an External System ID, which can store multiple IDs, including Google or Apple account IDs. Potential to use for SU MobileID.

Note: currently only one value can be used. There's an enhancement for multiple values, but no ETA: https://issues.folio.org/browse/MODUSERS-159

  "description": "An ID that corresponds to an external authority",
  "type": "string"

Investigate if externalsystemId is in addition to userID and can be queried separately.

Alternative approach Duke implemented for dealing with patrons that have multiple IDs (phone ID, card ID, watch ID, etc.).
