Hi,  
I’m using a Form Contained to manage the update of the User profile, against the Users table (RowId. User email, Name etc)  
So, I’m getting a side effect anytime User Profile updates by the Submit button, the User row is updated but a new row in the Users table is created with the same user email (different Row Id).  
How may I fix it?  
Thanks in advance

A form container will always add a new row, that is what it is for.

Instead, use an Edit Screen.
