Hello, are these posts created with CRED, or created in wp-admin? If CRED, you can use the cred_save_data hook:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'copy_location_to_multiline_field',10,2);
function copy_location_to_multiline_field($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==12345)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['wpcf-location']))
        {
            // add it to saved post meta
            update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-multiline', $_POST['wpcf-location']);
        }
    }
}

Replace 12345 with the CRED form ID, and replace 'wpcf-location' and 'wpcf-multiline' with the correct field slugs. Add the 'wpcf-' prefix to the slug shown in wp-admin for each field.

If they are created in wp-admin, you can use the save_post hook:

add_action( 'save_post', 'copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin', 100, 3 );
function copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
  if ( $post->post_status == 'publish' && $post->post_type == 'cptslug' ) {
    $location = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-location', true);
    update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-multiline', $location );
  }
}

Replace 'cptslug' with the slug of the post type where you have your address field, and replace 'wpcf-location' and 'wpcf-multiline' with the correct field slugs. Add the 'wpcf-' prefix to the slug shown in wp-admin for each field.
