Hi @Elliot!
Thanks for the udate.
I’ve tweaked the function some & found out that, for some reason, including $\POST in the function makes it work !
Even if the $_POSRT does not contain the field ‘memeber_firstname per se…I guess the get_field function than can refer to the field name, with it’s corresponding value in the postmeta table :

<?php
function my_acf_update_value( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
	global $_POST;
	// vars

	$new_title = get_field('member_firstname', $post_id) . ' ' . $value;
	$new_slug = sanitize_title( $new_title );

	// update post
	// http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post
	  $my_post = array(
      'ID'           => $post_id,
      'post_title' => $new_title,
	  'post_name' => $new_slug
  );

// Update the post into the database
  wp_update_post( $my_post );
	
	
}

add_filter('acf/update_value/name=member_lastname', 'my_acf_update_value', 10, 3);

?>

Thanks for all !
I intend to post a full & clear how-to post on this solution as it may come in handy to anyone else.Obviously won’t take the credit for any of it ! 🙂

Thanks again
