 * Hello [@rudiexp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rudiexp/),
 * ProfileGrid uses the default WordPress user meta data to store user information.
   You can map the form field’s meta key with ProfileGrid’s group field, so when
   you edit the form field value, the corresponding ProfileGrid profile field with
   the same meta key will automatically update. You can map the group field using
   the option “user_meta Key” in field settings.
 * I hope this helps, let us if you still face any issues.
