Hi @Hi2023 

 

If I understand your question, you can do with the help of Formula tool.

 

[Column1]+" "+[Column2]

Yes, you can use string functions to facilitate this. I usually add a trim to the function to avoid leading/trailing spaces in the event one of the fields is null. Depending on the complexity you could use if statements to craft the update.
