The second custom field should be a field with related data (Related-Product). The fields have already been created with the Module Builder. I want to have a possibility in the backend to click on an additional button which will save the product title from the related product into the custom field "Title".

I only have access to the value of the single field from my Angular component and not to the whole model.

Or is there another way to do this?
