Hi,

I found this thread that seems to be for the most part the solution to my inquiry:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/auto-populate-a-text-area-field-from-another-custom-field/

My only difference is that I want to populate a text field from the title of the post (as opposed to from another custom field). Is there going to be a unique separate syntax for populating from the post-title of my CPT?

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I understand that you want to copy post title to another custom field but can you please tell when you want to do that. When using Toolset post form or when you save the post from backend?

Well I would primarily like to do it both ways, for admin in backend and for when users on the frontend submit a new post... I saw in the thread there were both options there.

- Using Toolset form:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'copy_title_to_custom_field',10,2);
function copy_title_to_custom_field($post_id, $form_data) {
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==9999 ){
         $title = get_the_title( $post_id );
         update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-your-field-slug', $title );
        
    }
}

- Where replay 9999 with your original form ID
- replace the "your-field-slug" with your original field slug.

- Using post add/edit screen on backend admin

add_action( 'save_post', 'copy_title_to_custom_field_admin', 100, 3 );
function copy_title_to_custom_field_admin( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
  if ( $post->post_status == 'publish' && $post->post_type == 'cpt-slug' ) {
   
        $title = $post->post_title;
         update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-your-field-slug', $title );
  }
}

Where:
- replace "cpt-slug" with your original post type slug
- replace the "your-field-slug" with your original field slug.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
