Error in Lab 10 for MOC 6416C

In the lab exercise for module 10 of MOC 6416C, One of the custom claims appears to not be working. It is in fact working. There simply is not any data in the appropriate field. To correct this, open Active Directory Users and Computer on LON-DC1. Open the properties for Spencer Low. Click the Organization tab and enter a value in for the Job Title property.

The lab instruction are correct with the exception of adding data to the Job Title property.
