NS Country doesn't populate with existing value when updating profile

"National Society County" doesn't populate with existing value when updating profile. It's already set in my profile but showing as blank when I go to update my profile.

thanks dan. this is a known issue i haven't been able to resolve. storing the latest on this here for whenever i have the bandwidth to revisit:

the UpdateAccountForm class, which inherits from FlaskForm, uses a QuerySelectField with a lambda function to query the db for all national society names. when loading the profile edit page (or any other page that makes use QuerySelectField plus a lambda function), it doesn't show that as being selected. i suspect i need a conditional that checks for the data differently on page preview than page update.

I however have multiple NS/org affiliations - so I actually want to be able to select the NS (or IFRC) that relates to a given deployment... Similarly, even if people have one org for a period of time they may change at a later date - so need to make sure that the affiliation that related to past deployments doesn't change when the person later changes jobs. Can think of a few SIMS members in this latter category, who have changed jobs/orgs in the time I've been in SIMS.
