I've been trying to do this myself using various bits of info I found on these support forms, and I'm lost. Therefore, I won't even provide my work, rather detail what I need.

I have a CRED form built that my client will use. The URL/Title for each submission needs to be created using a mix of two things:

1) A taxonomy he picks while creating a new submission, and
2) A custom field (which is a date) that he picks in the CRED form as well.

It would be displayed: website.com/taxonomy_name-custom_date

Can anyone help? I'm so lost.

Dear keith,

It needs custom codes, I suggest you try with CRED action hook cred_save_data to setup your custom PHP function.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-api/#csd

In your PHP function, use wordpress function wp_update_post to update the post title and slug
