Tell us what you are trying to do?
combine fields (e.g. first name & surname) to one new field (name)

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - as I understand, you want to combine custom field values in backend (admin) and save the resulting value into the third custom field. If this is true:

Toolset offers PHP API which you can use here. More info:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/updating-types-fields-using-php/#an-example

Please let me know if you need further help regarding this.
