Where to set the default value when user wants to create a new record?

I tried the WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE or WHEN-CREATE-RECORD, but the default values show up even it
is a empty block. Users cannot delete the record as some of fields on the form are required
fields.

I also tried KEY-CREREC and KEY-DOWN. It works fine if the block is empty, no default value shown.
However users always forget to press <F6> or <DOWN ARROW> key so they miss the defautl values.

Which trigger should be used?

No trigger, just enter a value for the INITIAL VALUE property of the item.
