Note: Be sure to enter values for profilename, fields(Field_1) and their values (in Value_1). Also, be sure to separate multiple values for one field "~" character.

1. Create a form and four fields:

servername, databasename, 
profilename, Field_1 (multivalue) & 
Value_1 (multivalue)

2. Create an action button -- called "Update profile" with the code:

Sub Click(Source As Button)
On Error Goto errorhandler
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim uiws As New notesuiworkspace
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim i As Integer

Dim rval As Variant, m1() As String

Dim ctfield, ctvalue As Integer

Set uidoc = uiws.CurrentDocument
Set doc = uidoc.document
If uidoc.IsNewDoc Then
Msgbox "Please save the document first"
Exit Sub
End If
 
 
Dim tdb As New notesdatabase
(doc.Servername(0), doc.
databasename(0))
If tdb.IsOpen Then
'ok
Else
Msgbox "cannot open the specified 
database, check access or data entered.."
Exit Sub
End If

' getprofile document 
Dim docProfile As NotesDocument
 
Set docProfile = 
tdb.getProfileDocument(doc.ProfileName(0))

Set fieldItem = doc.GetFirstItem("Field_1")
ctfield = 0
Forall x In fieldItem.values
ctfield  = ctfield + 1
End Forall

If ctfield = 0 Then
Msgbox "cannot find any value in fields item"
Exit Sub
End If

ctval = 0

Set valueitem = doc.GetFirstItem("value_1")

Forall y In valueitem.values
 ctvalue = ctvalue + 1
End Forall



For  i = 0 To (ctfield - 1)
  
' multiple separated by ~ characters.. 
If Instr(valueitem.values(i),"~") <> 0 Then
rval = Split(valueitem.values(i), "~")
Redim m1(Ubound(rval))
For t=0 To Ubound(rval)
m1(t) = rval(t)
Next
Set itemtoSet = docProfile.
ReplaceItemValue(fielditem.values(i), m1)
Else
Set itemtoSet = docProfile.
ReplaceItemValue(fielditem.values(i), 
valueitem.values(i))
End If
Next
If i > 0 Then
docProfile.Form = doc.ProfileName(0)
docProfile.Save True, True
Msgbox "Profile Document saved successfully"
Exit Sub
End If
 
Msgbox "Profile Document was not saved"
Exit Sub
Errorhandler:
Print "Error in Create Profile: " 
& Err() & " - " &Error() & " @line: " &Erl()
Exit Sub
End Sub

Save the form/document and click on the "Update profile" action button.
