When I do an Update Feed I'm not seeing all my forms that I've created. Am I missing something? I checked and all 3 of them show "Create" under the "Action" column.

Still having the same issues after updating to the most recent plugin build. I can't see all the forms so I can select the one I want to create an update feed for.

If the form you want to use already has a feed mapped to it for registering a user, it won't show up in the list as available for updating a user. You need to create a new form to update a user. You can't use the same form. Is that your issue?
You can start with a duplicate of the form you use for registration as a base for the form you use to update a user.

That's what I started to do but I wasn't clear on the process and was a little confused. But that clears it up on what I need to do. Thanks!

I guess that I'm still confused on how this new plugin works to update my data. I have a form for new members to register. I set up a "Create" feed so that when they register it also create a WordPress login. But shouldn't I be able to create an "Update" feed selecting the same form so it pulls the users data from the database so they can update their info?

There is a technical limitation on using the same form to both create and update a feed. I will ask the developer of the add-on to stop by and offer an explanation.

That would be great so I can understand how to get this to work so my client can let their members update their own information.

I heard back from one of the developers:
We decided to require the update and create form to be different. There are few technical reasons, but really the main reason is that keeping them separate is more flexible and most of the time the update form will need to be slightly different than the sign-up form, so we decided to follow that pattern and enforce it.
However, all mapped user information will be loaded into the update form and updated when the form is submitted (even though the user wasn't created by that form). One caveat is that only the mapped user information will be updated (including user information and user meta), but the entry will remain the same. The update feed will actually create a new entry every time it is submitted. We do have a snippet that can be used to delete those entries if needed.
Does that explanation help?
