OH3: How to use follow profile in mainui

Hi there, i tried to use the follow profile in oh3 using the mainui to configure it, but i failed. The reason is very simple. When using the follow profile i need the option to select or enter an channel to follow. main ui does not offer this option. i opend an issue in github and discussed this with @ysc Outcome ist that entry field for profiles are autogenerated from the a xml definition: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/blob/master/bundles/org.openhab.core.thing/src/main…

which does not end conclusively.

Are you attempting to add a second channel to your Item, and then to modify that newly created link with a profile? I believe that is the way it should be done.
