Yes,

First, remove the assignment from the PRE-TEXT-ITEM trigger. The best way to provide a default value is with the DEFAULT_VALUE property of the item. If this is not sufficient then 1) if the item is visible to the user, assign the value in a WHEN-CREATE-RECORD trigger OR 2) if the item is invisible to the user, do the assignment in a PRE-INSERT trigger.
