You realise form builder help tells you want built ins you can use in which triggers?

Why don't you just try it.

As far as this goes built-ins fall into two categories - restricted and non-restricted.

The help for a given built-in will tell you if it's restricted or not.
The help for a given trigger will tell you if it allows restricted built-ins or not.

It is Possible

create a visual attribute as you want

then apply check on when new form instance or any other trigger.

in this you always check for every field and then apply you visual attribute to them.

set_item_property('FIELD_NAME',current_record,visual_attribute,'VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE_NAME');
