Sorry. Unfortunately, it did not work and was "royally broken" ;-).
Choosing any name in the spinbox would set record.profile to "0"
and the titles where I tried to change the profile all recorded
with the Default parameters. This change seemed to be consistent
with the "else" half of the function where the two args to
addSelection are a string and a string of an id integer.

That explains it. record.profile had been (and still was) an
integer and my change would set the integer as I was expecting.
Further, it showed the correct profile name when I returned to
the page. It seemed like a little one line 'opps' that could
easily be fixed.

Thanks for taking care of this. It was broken last night and
it seemed like such a simple thing. Still, I should have sent
a description of the problem and let you look into it.

My apologies,
