 * I created a field called “Genre” with checkboxes. This included a checkbox for“
   SciFi and Mystery”. Then some BuddyPress members selected genre categories (checkboxes)
   for their profile. Later I edited “SciFi and Mystery” to change it to “Thriller
   and Mystery”, but it did not apply the change in the profiles of the members 
   who had previously selected “SciFi and Mystery”, so on the front end of their
   profiles, it still showed their genre as “SciFi and Mystery”, instead of “Thriller
   and Mystery”.

 * Hi there, you edited the profile as an admin? Try to do it from the front-end
   area too and see how it works.

 * The issue is the same whether I edit as admin or edit on the front end.
