Tell us what you are trying to do?

I'm trying to set up a post type for people where the first name and the last name are separate fields (for sorting purposes).
I would like the title of the post to be [first-name] [last-name] - without making the user have to type in the firstname and lastname twice.

How do I write the post title this way, without user entry?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Nope - I have not found anything helpful.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

This is what I want it to look like: hidden link (manually entered first name/last name in post title field)

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

In the default value field for the post title in the form, you can use the "wpv-user" shortcode, to populate the first and last name of the current user.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-user )

[wpv-user field="user_firstname"] [wpv-user field="user_lastname"]

( example screenshot attached )

As a result, when the form will load, the current user's first and last name will be automatically filled in the post title field.

Note: You can hide the post title field using custom CSS code so that the users can't make any changes to this field.

regards,
Waqar
