Hi,
is there any tutorial explaining how to create calculated fields ? for example, I need a field "subscription expire date" = today (registration date) + 365. I might need other similar fields in the future (set values like A=100 or Y=A+B, etc.). What's the best approach to get this ?
Thanks
Regards
Nicola

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - the best way is to write the custom shortcodes as per your needs.

We do not have exact Docs but I will share here which is available for now that may give you the idea:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/how-to-create-a-custom-shortcode/
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/how-to-use-toolset-api-hooks-in-custom-code/
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

As I understand you want to apply some calculations once the post is saved from backend (admin). If this is true, you need to use the standard save_post action.
