Basic question in data structures

I have created a seperate 'Profile ’ data type with various fields like Name, Origin, Country… to save all user related info

I have also created ‘My-profile’ with field type profile in user data type to link the two

But, in element when I select content type as Profile and source- Current User’ My Profile’ Name , the data is not showing.

I want to understand how should I link the two in order for data to start displaying.

Thanks!

In my opinion this is the right way to set up database, I do this quite often, specially when you’re going to have a lot of data into the “profile” in this case…

The only down side I have experienced with this kind of setup is that you have to not only assign the User to the Profile but also the Profile to the User.

So lets say your workflow looks something like this:
-New user is created
-Create a new Thing: Profile, Field User = Result of Step 1 New User.

you then have to do an extra step, which can easily be done in the same workflow or can be done through backend workflow if you’re on a paid plan but essentially is the same thing

-Make changes to User: Field My-Profile: Result of Step 2 New Profile

Most likely this is what is affecting you. This way you will be able to refference the User{s My-Profile field and should be populated
