 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to allow users to edit a field stored within a different table
   in the database.
 * I understand the plugin gives access to fields stored in User Meta, however I
   need to allow users to edit their PayPal email address that is stored within 
   another table relating to an Affiliate Plugin.
 * For example table affiliate_wp_affiliates >>> payment_email
 * Is there a way I can add a custom field on the backend?

 * Hello [@swdmedialimited](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swdmedialimited/),
 * In order for this to work you will require some custom code.
 * First, make a custom field in Profile Builder representing this affiliate payment
   email (PB will store this in usermeta as well, but that shouldn’t be an issue).
 * Then use some code to modify this field in the affiliate wp plugin:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'wppb_edit_profile_success', 'wppbc_custom_code', 20, 3 );
       function wppbc_custom_code( $field_data, $form_name, $user_id ){
       	// custom code
       }
       ```
   
 * This will trigger each time an edit profile form is submitted, you can look inside
   $field_data for your field value and then you just need to figure out a way to
   update the affiliate data. But that’s a question for their support channels.
 * Regards.
