Set some initial digits to a text or number field based on other field's value
I wonder of this can be achieved: I have two number fields (may be text, too).
The first field is a 4 digit number. The second field is a 13 digit number, but the first 4 digits have to be exacly the digits of the first field.
I want the user to fill the first field, and the second field must pull the value from the first field and let the user to fill the 9 remaining digits.
Field 1 (4 digits, number or text): 1729
Field 2 (13 digits, number or text): 1729 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (the first four digits must appear mandatory, and the user enters the 9 digits left).
It doesn't matter if fields are treated as number or text.
What would be the approach? Thanks in advance.

As a start, I used Calculate the default value for this field - This calculation is copying text, but that does not lock the first four digits. The user must not delete them in the second field.
