I have some tables where the primary name column has to be generated to be human-readable and a useful encapsulation. e.g. A Student table has first and last name columns. The name column gets set to 'first last'.

I have experimented with different methods of updating the name column, but wonder which is considered best practice.

Hide the name column on the entry form. Update the column with an OnSave event. (I can imagine this being more difficult if more forms are added, or an editable grid is used.)
Use a business rule to Set Value.
Use a cloud flow to Update a Dataverse Row on addition/modification/deletion

What is considered best practice? What are the possible consequences or pitfalls to avoid?
