How do I filter a form that stores member-generated data so it doesn't delete existing content.

I created 2 member pages that I titled “My Profile” and “Update Profile” to allow members to update their own profile. The “Update Profile” page consists of a form that allow users to edit their profile information, via a dataset titled “profile database”. It works properly, in that it is connected to the backend updates the member’s profile. My issue is when a user only wants to update specific info (such as profile pic or phone number) and they leave the other input fields blank, it overrides all of their existing information. So, their existing profile info gets deleted. I suspect that this can be fixed by adding a filter to the database (or dataset) or permissions, but I don’t know?

Can someone please help me figure out how I can allow my members to update certain elements of their profile, without deleting the other existing data?

You don’t need the two datasets.

I actually have another question pertaining to my custom member pages. I’d like to know if I can set up two separate “Update Profile” pages that members are directed to when they press the “Update Profile” button, depending on their Member Role. d

To clarify, I created two membership roles in my CRM. One is called “Vendors” and the other is called “Vet Pros”. They have different permission settings, depending on their role. All site members must be approved. When they sign-up to become a member, they choose which role they qualify for and fill out a simple form, so I can specific info that will determine their membership role.

Once they are approved, they can update their profile by adding detailed info about their business and practices. So, for example, when a Vendor clicks the “Update Profile” button on their Member Page, I want them to be directed to a "Update Vendor Profile: pages, because need to add products and store locations to their member data. “Vet Pros” require different form fields their line of work… Therefore, I want 2 different “update Profile” pages so they can fill out the correct info about themselves. . Is there a way I can add code to the button on the “Member Profile” page that will direct them to the appropriate "Update Profile page, depending on their “role” or “label”? I am quite inexperienced with wix code, so please bear with me. I’m trying to learn. :)))But, feel like there’s gotta be a WAY.
