Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am wanting to give front end editing of a post by selecting a user profile page to be assinged.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello,

I assume we are talking about a Toolset form for editing post, if it is, I suggest you try these:
1) Create a custom post type "user profile", each "user profile" post's author is different user, one user can have only one "user profile" post.

2) Setup one-to-many relationship between "user profile" and your custom post type,
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/

Then you will be able to add a relationship field into your edit post form, and relate it with an "user profile" post.
