Some important notes:

• This was done // on saving / before_save, pull city and state values from address based on standard address shipping name and populate city_and_state field (both are custom fields)

• console.log is (obviously) just for checking, but always good practice

• r is a collection variable in JSON (?) format that needs to be parsed to its message and fields (which was also pulled during frappe.call)

• frappe.client.get_value is for client side scripting, while frappe.db.get_value is for server side scriptingSome important notes:
