I start with the issue as described here:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/custom-user-fields-in-another-toolset-form/
I have all that part of it working fine, however now as suggested, I moved all the extra profile info into a new post type, and have created a form for users to edit that, but how do I display it?
When I go to insert the shortcode for the form I get the options of 'The current post' and 'Another post'. How do I have it edit the Profile post associated with the logged in user?
thanks

Hello,

I assume we are talking about this:
Post type: "Business Profile"
Each "Business Profile" post author is different WordPress user.

You are going to display a post form for user to edit their own "Business Profile" post.

If it is, you can try these:
1) Create a WordPress page, for example: Edit my own Business Profile
Display below post view

2) Setup a post view: my own Business Profile post
- Query "Business Profile" posts
- Filter by:
Select posts with the author the same as the current logged in user.
- Display the edit post form shortcode you mentioned above using option "The current post in the loop"
