Body: <p>i have a simple Custom Field set that has 2 text field to capture "Year" and "Class".  This custom field is set to keep multiple records/values.  The idea is to track the person's class information over years.</p>
  
  <p>It seems that I can do a batch update of this custom field through a profile, but instead of updating the existing records, it goes ahead and add new records/value.</p>
  
  <p>Just to confirm that this is the behavior for batch-update of custom field with multiple records, and currently the interface does not allow batch-update of existing values.  Thanks.</p>
