Hi,


Auto populating field logic is may change based on requirement, below are few ways through which we can auto populate values in salesforce:
  1. If you want only single value to be populated every time then Set default value.
  2. Using field update you can auto populate value in field.
  3. If you want to populate the value based on condition and values are fixed and few then you can use the formula fields
  4. Using before insert/update trigger for custom logic

Thanks
