Is there a way to copy @id column generatedValue to another column of same entity?

I have a requirement in SpringBoot JPA service where the primary key value of the column must be stored in another column of same entity. In example below, rowId is generated by StringPrefixedLineSequenceIdGenerator. Whatever value it generates, I need to store the same in lineId column. 

@Entity
@Table(name="CX_LINE")
public class CXLine {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "cx_line_seq")
@GenericGenerator(
    name = "cx_line_seq", 
    strategy = "com.tmo.chub.entity.generator.StringPrefixedLineSequenceIdGenerator"/*, 
                parameters = {@Parameter(name = StringPrefixedLineSequenceIdGenerator.VALUE_PREFIX_PARAMETER, value = "2-XP-"),
                              @Parameter(name = StringPrefixedLineSequenceIdGenerator.NUMBER_FORMAT_PARAMETER, value = "%04d")}*/)
   @Column(name="row_id")
   private String rowId;

   @Column(name="LINE_ID")
   private String lineId;

   //getters & setters
}

The issue is, the value of @id will not be available to me until the repo.save(). Is there a way to get the generatedValue from hibernate session or something? or Is it possible to use @GeneratedValue & @GenericGenerator for columns other than @id? I am currently doing 2 saves. I will save the new CXline with unique value (coming in input) and then do the update again like shown below. Appreciate any inputs here.

CXLine existingLine = lineRepo.findByExtLineId(payload.getCustomerProfile().getCustomerId());

if(existingLine !=null){
   //do update
}
else{
   CXLine newLine = new CXLine();   
   newLine.setLineId(payload.getCustomerProfile().getCustomerId());
   // set other columns
   lineRepo.save(newLine);

   CXLine lineToUpdateLineId = lineRepo.findByExtLineId(payload.getCustomerProfile().getCustomerId());
   lineToUpdateLineId.setLineId(lineToUpdateLineId.getRowId());
   lineRepo.save(newLine);  
}

You can implement the same functionality in a different way. If you don't want to save the same object two times Then, first generating the sequence using @query annotation with a native SQL query on repository.

example

@Query(value = "SELECT cx_line_seq.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL", nativeQuery = true)
    public Long getCxLineId();

then setting the value to columns and saving them. if you are using above approach then you need to remove the sequence generator from your Entity class
