You can use the WordPress API wp_update_post in your cred_save_data hook to set the post title automatically using text from custom field values. There are several examples in other tickets here in the forum, like these:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/i-need-a-title-post-to-be-populated-by-a-custom-field/

More information about wp_update_post:

If you need more specific guidance, please elaborate on what you want to accomplish and the custom fields involved.
