Answers.Text: Unfortunately that is not a solution as that overwrites values and that is not intended. We want to add and remove values depending on other criteria. Thanks for the update though, glad to know I am not alone.

  There are [known bugs](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/3869) with the "Profile Update" action, however fixing them has been low-priority because there is another alternative: in SearchKit you can select the "Update Contacts" action which allows you to choose values directly, without needing to configure a profile.
