Save answers to the profile - FirstRespondersHub Docs

You can link a question to the student’s profile. The student’s answer then updates their profile, and the question fills in for them next time. A returning student does not have to retype their date of birth.

How to set it up

Edit your application form.
Click a question in the outline.
In the question settings, find Save to User Profile.
Pick a profile field, or None to keep the answer only on this submission.

What you can link

The menu only shows options that fit the question’s type.

Option	Question type
Student’s First Name	Short Text or Long Text
Student’s Last Name	Short Text or Long Text
Student’s Email	Email
Student’s Phone	Phone Number
Student’s Address	Address
Student’s Address Line 1, Line 2, City, State, ZIP Code	Short Text or Long Text
Student’s Date of Birth	Date
Student’s Profile Picture	Image Upload

If you pick None, you still get the answer in the submission and in your export. It does not change the student’s profile.

What the student sees

If the student’s profile already has the value, the question is filled in for them. They can change it. Whatever they submit updates their profile.

When the profile updates

The profile updates when the student submits the form. The submission is saved first, so a profile problem never loses their answers. Linking a question does not change approval, payment, or any other enrollment step.

Profile pictures

Only Image Upload questions can link to Student’s Profile Picture.
If the student uploads several images, the first one becomes their picture.
If the picture cannot be saved, the submission still goes through. Their old picture stays.
