I have used the following code snippet from your site to copy one field value to another.

add_action( 'save_post', 'copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin', 100, 3 );
function copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
if ( $post->post_status == 'publish' && $post->post_type == 'nacft-membership' ) {
$location = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-postcode', true);
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-postcodeshort', $location );
}
}

I have two fields set up one named: wpcf-postcode and the other wpcf-postcodeshort
and this works fine however I would like to bring across only the first 4 characters, so if a postcode is BA22 1PJ it would copy across BA22 only.

Is there any coding I can add to this snippet to make this work and only copy the first 4 characters.

Hey there,

Thank you for contacting our support.

Can you try using the function substr to extract the first 4 chars of the string to see if that accomplishes what you need?

You can do it with a code similar to this:

add_action( 'save_post', 'copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin', 100, 3 );
function copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
    if ( $post->post_status == 'publish' && $post->post_type == 'nacft-membership' ) {
        $location = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-postcode', true);
        $short_location = substr( $location, 0, 4 ); // Extracts the first 4 characters
        update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-postcodeshort', $short_location );
    }
}

Please give it a try and tell us the results.

Thank you.

Perfect that works great. I have another issue I'm also trying to solve below and wonder if you are able to help.

I have a map linked to an toolset image field where it uses a coloured pin to display on the map depending on which category they belong to. Red pin for Category 1 and Blue for Category 2. I would like to automate this process if possible.

The link to the actual map page is hidden link

I have a category set up named Membership Types with taxonomies set up as Category 1 and Category 2.

And an toolset image field set up named map-pin which I then use an image named pin-cat1.png image for Category 1 and pin-cat2.png image for Category 2

What I would like to happen is that when they belong to the Category 1 the toolset map-pin field automatically chooses the image pin-cat1.png and then if they belong to Category 2 the toolset map-pin field automatically chooses the image pin-cat2.png

Is this possible to do with some coding.
