Yeah, that is nasty. There is afaik no generic approach to interweave 
tceforms fields with each other and it could lead to headaches if you 
are trying to do so, especially if using irre and parent records.

Every field come with an additional hidden field that also takes the 
value, maybe you missed that? Sorry, I'm not so deep in tceforms to give 
you a real solution for that.

You maybe could also use tcemain hooks to solve that, then you could 
fill / filter / change fields during save. This is not as nice as a 
piece of js that does this job, but it might be a bit more simple (be 
warned, there are traps as well).
