I've seen that a PRE-COMMIT trigger rewrites those values 
after each modification.    

Changing the trigger to PRE-INSERT seems to work better for me.  
I want the fields to be filled only when inserting the record, 
so that the user could change the values if he wants.

Yes, I totally agree this is a better way  :)   

Does the connection name specified in .netrc override the one
specified in the gfd file ( <datasource .. connection="" ..> )  ?
