Thanks to Nevena at support: The code sample below is the way to set the values. For persisting the values in the database, it is needed to save the changes by using the UserProfileManager: UserProfileManager profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager(); ....... profile.SetValue("Checkboxes", new string[] { "Option2" } ); ...... profileManager.SaveChanges(); However, it is a good practice to execute the logic in the controller and keep the view only for displaying the value. Here is a code sample to display the custom field values in the view after they have been set: @foreach (var choice in Model.Item.Fields.Choices) //Choices is a custom ChoiceField added to a content type { @choice.Text.ToString() : @choice.PersistedValue.ToString() } For more details, please check this KB article - knowledgebase.progress.com/.../mvc-how-to-display-custom-choicefield-s-selected-choices-using-razor
