Updating Default Attributes through Canvas User Update
For starters, the default (predefined) fields are listed on this page under the heading "Default user data column headers"

Are you not seeing the default/predefined fields in the UI dropdown when you ad an update user step?

Thanks Ted!
Yep that's right, I was unable to find the default/predefined fields in the UI dropdown.
I saw Email and Phone Number in the UI dropdown initially - But when i did a test, the update went into the Custom Attributes instead. Any idea how i can work around this?
Here's my setup below:

Have you tried sending the event to users/track endpoint?
https://www.braze.com/docs/api/endpoints/user_data/post_user_track/#update-a-user-profile-by-email-address
If you cannot for some reason, then that case, do a webhook in the canvas to the endpoint crafting a new event with the properties from the original event.
If this does not get you anywhere reach out to Braze tech support (unfortunately I don't have access to Braze at this time so cannot play with it).
