This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to create a post with a title generated from its custom fields.
Solution: You can do this at 2 places, both times you will need to apply Custom Code.
1. In the backend when you create or edit a Post with WordPress.
Here you will use WordPress API "save_post" to update your Post Title with the values you have set in the Post Custom Fields.

2. In the Front End when you create or edit a Post with Toolset Forms.
Here you will create a Toolset Forms that either creates or edits those posts, and includes the Fields, but not the Title.
The user of this Form will fill out the Fields, and submit the Form.
You will hook a Custom Code to the Toolset Form's API "cred_save_data()" hook, which takes the values from those fields, and updates the Post Title with it.
A simple function example that does this, crafted using this DOC (https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data
), is visible here:
