SugarCRM - very SIMPLE Logic Hook executed with delay

i have very, very simple logic hook- I am still learning and I am confused at the start. I turn on Developer mode.

I already have field "FIRST_NAME" in Contacts module. I Created my field "MY_FIELD" also in COntacts module.

In logic_hooks.php file I added

$hook_array['before_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'Value from one field to another', 'custom/modules/Contacts/my.php', 'User_hook','copy');

In my.php file I added 

class User_hook {

    function copy(&$bean, $event, $arguments)
    {

    $bean->my_field_c  = $bean->fetched_row['first_name']. " - additional text";
    }

}

So when I entered in First_Name value "First" I am getting in My field value "-additional text" but I should get "First- additional text." If I go to Edit View and enter in First name field "Second" I am getting in My field value "First - additional text" but I should get "Second - additional text". If I enetein Edit View "Third" I am getting in My field "Third - addiitional text" but I should get "Third - additional text".

So obviously my logic hook is executed with delay in one iteration- why and how to change it? This is my first hook so I am not so experience. Thanks for help

$bean->fetched_row['first_name'] will return the value of the field BEFORE you change it. You'd use this to see what the value of first_name was before the user changed it on the form.

Try using 

class User_hook {

    function copy(&$bean, $event, $arguments)
    {

    $bean->my_field_c  = $bean->first_name. " - additional text";
    }

}
