# Important: Picked profiles ignore the Startingpoint {#important-ace-923-picked-profiles-academic-persons}

## Description {#description}

The **Persons List** and **Persons List and Detail** content
elements show exactly the profiles an editor picks in **List of
profiles**, in the order they are picked. Their **Startingpoint** still
applied to that selection: a picked profile stored in a folder outside of it
was left out without a notice, although the editor had chosen it explicitly.
The **Profile Card** and **Profiles: Selected Profiles**
elements, which pick profiles the same way, never applied a storage folder.

A selection by hand now ignores the **Startingpoint** in the two list
elements as well. A picked profile is shown wherever it is stored. Hidden and
deleted profiles, the start and end time of a profile, **Show hidden
records**, the language handling and the workspace apply as before, and a list
without a selection still shows the profiles of its **Startingpoint**
only.

## Impact {#impact}

A list with picked profiles from more than one folder shows all of them, in
the order of the selection, also when it is paginated. Listeners of
`ModifyProfileQueryEvent` receive the query of such a list with the
storage folders of the element still set in its query settings, but no longer
respected.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations with a **Persons List** or **Persons List and
Detail** element that combines **List of profiles** with a
**Startingpoint**, and picked a profile outside of it. Such a profile
appears on the page now. Where it should not, remove it from the selection.
