uidNumber is not provided by default. If you use the latest LLDAP, you can create a custom user attribute uidNumber and set the value for each user.
The web UI doesn't fully support custom attributes yet (you can create them but not set values), but you can use lldap-cli as a friendlier interface than GraphQL.

I am actually not sure what is causing the issue here, but I used the community CLI to add this and it didn't work. This is what I got:

lldap-cli $ ./lldap-cli schema attribute user add uidNumber integer
ERROR: Unknown type \AttributeType\
Unknown field \addUserAttribute\ on type \Mutation\

Any idea what is causing this? How does one do this directly via the API?

That's likely because you're using the stable version of LLDAP instead of the latest. User attributes have not technically been released yet (we're just waiting on the UI)

Sorry for the (very) late answer. I don't have an ETA for a stable release (it's blocked on the web UI), but you can use the nightly releases.
