Can you copy 'compound' fields such as Address in formula language

[Dave B]

I want to be able to assign an address field on one entity to another. Something like:

entity2.homeAddress = entity1.homeAddress where in both cases the field homeAddress is defined as of type address

Doing this does not cause an error but does not seem to work - entity1.homeAddress is always set to null

Do I really have to copy each subfield ( street, city, state etc.) separately?

Thank you

Yes you have to at the moment, there is no {address} only method.
You can make shortcut using variable; for example:

$address = concatenate(street, city)

description = $address
homeaddress = $address

Instead of having to do this each time:
description = concatenate(street, city)
homeaddress = concatenate(street, city)
