Create path based on another field

[cloetensbrecht]

It would be nice to make it possible to define the field that generates the path. By default the title field is used, but in some cases we would like to create the path based on another field.

To achieve this it's of course possible to use the following configuration:

{
  title: text('Invoice number', {width: .25}),
  name: text('Title', {width: .75})
}

But this results in strange and incorrect data:

{
  "title": "14/00003",
  "name": "My invoice title has no influence on the generated path"
}

It would be better that the data keys are logic and match their value:

{
  "invoicenumber": "14/00003",
  "title": "My invoice title has no influence on the generated path"
}

This seems not to work when creating a new entry through the CMS as only the Title field is available at that time.
