I'm using a CRED form to update a neighborhood issues tracking database.

I have a field type = "address" , named "home-owner-address". I want do display that address in a Content Template as a Google map.

The city and state will always be: "Palmetto, FL"

I don't want the users to have to enter, "Palmetto, FL" every time, just the house number and street.
I would like to automatically append "Palmetto, FL" to that field (home-owner-address) stored in the database.

I know how to fill a complete field with data with a function, but I don't know how to append it to user entered data.

Is there a function that I can run to do this on every new record save?

For example is the user enters into field "Address"
124 Main Street

It gets stored in the field as:
123 Main Street, Palmetto, FL

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can use CRED hook cred_before_save_data

For example - try to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_action('cred_before_save_data', 'my_before_save_data_action',10,1);
function my_before_save_data_action($form_data){
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==9999){
        if (isset($_POST['wpcf-home-owner-address'])){
            $_POST['wpcf-home-owner-address'] = $_POST['wpcf-home-owner-address'].", Palmetto, FL"; 
        }
    }
}
