We created a custom user field with toolset. This user field is a checkbox which can have two values (0 for unchecked and 1 for checked). With Uncanny Automator we created a receipe with the trigger "A user's Meta key {wpcf-user-checkbox} is updated to a Meta value {1}". In the user profile (user-edit.php) we marked the checkbox as checked, clicked on "Update profile" and the receipe worked as expected. But then we found out, that each time we click on save, the receipe runs again although we did not update the meta key value (we just keep the checkbox checked). So it seems that each time we click on "update profile" toolset sets the value again (even if it's already 1, it's setting it as 1 again). We created a similar checkbox (custom user field) with ACF and it works as expected. Now we're wondering what makes Toolset different from ACF when storing custom user fields?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I checked and I confirm that when you update the user profile it will update the checkbox field with every profile update irrespective of custom field value is changed or not.

For now - there is no workaround and this is the situation how it works for various reasons.

Hi Minesh, thank you for your quick reply. We'll check if we can get it to work by creating the custom user field manually via function.php.
