> Can a variable be passed from attribute definition to the data connector?

I don't know how to translate your question other than what I already answered. An attribute definition produces one IdPAttribute and its values. If you want to leverage that in a data connector, that's documented, you can specify any number of dependencies for any connector or defintion.

If you're trying to do something else, I don't know what it is.

Passed in how and by whom/what? If you can't get it from a data source in the usual way then the answer is going to depend a lot on what it is you're trying to do. Properties, environment variables, etc. are all "other" means of pushing data into the resolver configuration but they're all generally static.

If you're talking about some kind of massive mapping table of every SP and some corresponding code, then I guess I would use metadata tagging for that.
