I think this is because of improper quoting (I've tried various combinations), or maybe it's not possible to combine two functions.

Without knowing what you tried and what you want to do it is hard to say much. It is very possible that what you want to do is doable only in
general program mode, which allows arbitrary function nesting.

For anyone playing around with combined fields: I found that if you let Calibre display a combined field as a column in the "grid view", and single click on a row in that column (just like you would when you'd wanted to edit a value), Calibre lets you edit the function directly with a live preview of the result (!). I don't think that functionality is explained in the manual, it's very helpful when playing around with functions.

You can do this without creating a column by using the Template tester. I added it to the context menu for "books in the library" so I can open it on any book with a right-click.
