Automatically set fields on content

One of the easiest things to do with the Events, Conditions, and Actions (ECA) module is to set values on fields. You can populate forms with names and addresses from a user's profile. You can set date values to offsets from the current time. You can perform calculations and store the result in a summary field, which can make using them in views much more straightforward.

One of our clients wanted a total weight calculated per order. Commerce Shipping does provide this, calculating weights of packages -- but it doesn't provide an easy way to do this for the entire order.

We were able to add a custom weight field on the order, and calculate the total, taking units into account, using ECA.
