Hi Ed,
In addition to what Matthias said, there is also Virtual Fields an example of
them can be seen here
https://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/qgis-2-6-virtual-fields
http://changelog.kartoza.com/en/qgis/section/expressions-23/print/149/
I believe this may be of some help. Note Virtual fields are not saved as part
of the Layer, but as Part of the active project. You could though make them
permanent when you’re finished, by creating a new field and using the virtual
field as the source.
Hope this helps,
Richard.

Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Attribute Assistant
Hi Ed,
I must acknowledge my complete lack of the ESRI tools, so I am left with the
first hits I find in an internet search to guess what it does exactly.
My first guess is, that "default value" configuration is what you are looking
for. There is support for QGIS expressions - which opens up a wide variety of
possibilities.

ESRI has a tool called attribute assistant for automatically populating

there such a tool for QGIS?
