I have a CPT called Newsletters. Is it possible to auto-populate the (standard WordPress) title and URL of the post and then also add an increment. So for example the first three posts would be:

Newsletter-1
Newsletter-2
Newsletter-3

On so on

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know when you want to perform the auto increment, when adding post from admin or using Toolset form?

If you want to set auto increment post when adding the post from admin, you will require to use the default WordPress hook "save_post":
