    Hi,

    You could use mappings in this situation. Follow this path: settings > customization > customize the system > entities > account > 1:N relations. Find the relation with contact. Then open it and in the navigation bar go to the mapping. In the mapping section you could add your desired mappings between the fields of the same type. Then, when you add a contact from the account form it auto populates from the account.

    Furthermore, in case you add a contact from other paths than the account form, you could use an AJAX call to the server to populate the fields from parent.
