The solution is using added_post_meta
and updated_post_meta
hook .
Here is the working code .
add_action( 'added_post_meta', 'add_custom_field_automatically', 10, 4 );
add_action( 'updated_post_meta', 'add_custom_field_automatically', 10, 4 );
function add_custom_field_automatically( $meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value )
{
if ( '_my_meta_key' == $meta_key ) {
add_post_meta($post_id, '_my_new_meta_key', $meta_value.'to something new', true);
}
}
