Is it possible to have an automatic transfer of information from one custom field to another custom field.

When I enter information into a custom field in a parent post type either in adding a new post or via a cred form can the information be automatically inserted into another custom field in the child post type.

The parent field and child field are both visible but rather than entering the information twice can it be done automatically.
Thanks

For a CRED Form, you can use CRED API to do this when your form is submitted and data is saved, like below:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==12)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['my_custom_field']))
        {
            // add it to saved post meta
            add_post_meta($post_id, '__my_custom_field', $_POST['my_custom_field'], true);
        }
    }
}

You will need to add this to your theme's functions.php file and make adjustments accordingly. Please see https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-api/#csd for more information.

For operations at other places, like creating a post in admin panel or via some other means, you can use WordPress save_post() action. Please see https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post for more information.
