 Core field "Current Employer" have simple edit box type (hasn't possibility to choose ). So I cant choose existing organization for that field via profile. Every time profile submitting creates new Organization contact with name from Current Employer input (even if DB contains organization with the same). Is it work as it supposed to? How can I choose organization from DB contacts in that case?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Donald,
Our programmer trying to change type of Current Employer field (to make it as it works on edit contact from in Admin panel). I can't get why it's have  text edit type for using via profile? Is there some reasons for that? May be this is reasonable to change type for Current Employer for profile using in future versions? It will allow not only create new organization without dedup check (as it now) but also select existing organization from DB what is undermined.
