There is a recently developed new profile manager in Scene Properties > IFC Geometry > IFC Profiles. The idea of having a profile manager instead of managing it at the object's level is that you'll usually want to organise profiles especially for structural purposes or reusing molding shapes, etc. You'll be able to create IfcParametrizedProfileDef there, though you won't see the word "IfcParametrizedProfileDef" as the dropdown immediately gives options for the subtypes of IfcParametrizedProfileDef.
Thanks, I'm using the latest release, however when I want to edit the profile, there are no profiles detected, and when I click it, the box turns blank:
I've made this beam through the nice UI:
And when I look in this menu it says there is a profile assigned?
Just clueless on where to edit the X and Y dimensions of this beam.

@Coen as per your suggestion the profile manager now has thumbnails thanks to Andrej730 https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/f01900bdb1cf20d87cabee5b990cb1fd8973e294 and various issues with unnamed profiles are now fixed too https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/42c4a681081636779b80e37e258e6941f4fc9874
@RaphaëlVouilloz your bug of sometimes working, sometimes not was hard to track down, but I think it's now fixed: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/9f37f73e52531bc31c6822f2856751e1ed814dfe

The first error was fixed this morning: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/6bab10d2acb505bd46c50de39011f2ffcc38c441
Oh wow that was fast! :-D
Such a faster workflow than it used to be, nice!
