It's easy enough to do in CF8 Ajax, but, the point of 'dont autofill
if the user has changed the field' may be a bit difficult. How do you
know when the user has modified the field versus when the script has
modified it? I guess you could write code to say "As soon as I get a
key event, no long auto-update". Let me try to whip something up in
jQuery.
Ignoring that rule, here is a simple example in CF8:
<cfform name="form01">
first name <cfinput type="text" name="first_name"><br/>
last name <cfinput type="text" name="last_name"><br/>
profile name <cfinput type="text" name="profile_name"
bind="{first_name}{last_name}"><br/>
</cfform>
