Hi,

I created an app ([https://defientreprisesautom.glideapp.io/](https://defientreprisesautom.glideapp.io/)) .

I’m a complete beginner in coding and everything. I have a problem.

I created a form button inside the profile for people to complete their profile. However, everytime they submit the form, it creates a new line in the database. I would just like the information to be kept in the user’s profile. Is there a way to achieve this?

A Form will always write a new row. That’s it’s purpose. Instead you should be presenting the existing row to the user and enable editing on that row so they can make changes.
