Problem with permissions on editing profiles

    My issue is that I have set up a role’s profile to where certain fields can be edited by the user and others can only be edited by Admin. If I log in as the user and update their profile as them, the fields that were previously changed by my Admin account are all erased. This doesn’t happen if I edit those same things from my Admin account. How can we prevent this from happening? I need both the user and Admin to be able to update different things without the user being able to change the things only Admin has access to.

    After testing some more things out, I figured out that it only happens if I set privacy to “Only specific member roles.” I would prefer the user not be able to see what the admin is putting in those fields, which is why I chose that option. If I set privacy to “profile owner and specific roles” the user can see it. I unchecked “Can user edit this field?” either way.
