I have a index that have 2 fields only
index="TRIAL_INDEX" fields: sample1, sample2

And i will make a new field by
index="TRIAL_INDEX"
| eval sample3= sample1+sample2

What i want is that sample3 would add to the index , so the next time i search it will appear anywhere.

hey try this

go to Fields » Calculated fields » Add new
Put Name: sample3
Eval Expression : sample1+sample2

let me know if this helps!

Yes it is helpful , but is there a way that it will be triggered when a BUTTON CLICK in the dashboard ? or in the SPL itself ?

I do not know but this is achievable by js on a dashboard but then it will not reflect in a raw data.This is the only method I think to reflect in a raw data by default.

you're wanting sample3 always in your results without having to add that eval statement?
