I am trying to duplicate custom fields. Suppose I create a new custom field, example: address, and I want to catch its update and add another field called address1. Can this be done via any hooks?
Can you give me an example for code using such a hook?

Thanks

Dear yariv,

I suggest you try with the wordpress built-in action hook update_postmeta:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/update_postmeta/
Fires immediately before updating a post’s metadata.

I meant to capture adding a field while working inside types, not inside posts. But your reply made me realize I can hook with update_option.
Thanks.
