Hello,

I assume we are talking about these:
1) Three custom fields:
- Field A
- Field B
- Field C

2) You are going to setup "Field C" value using other two fields values "Field A" and "Field B"

If it is, there isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, you might consider custom codes, for example
1) After user fill values into fields "Field A" and "Field B", and save the post, you can use WordPress action hook "save_post" to trigger a PHP function:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post/

2) In this PHP function, get the fields values "Field A" and "Field B"
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/
Use them to setup the "Field C" value:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_post_meta/
