Hi Sarah!
The pre-insert trigger fires just when you call the commit_form build-in.
So :ins2.code and :ins2.name are still null when you try to assign the values to the globals.
Put the code inside the pre-insert trigger direct after the sequence-select.
if
  :ins2.name is not null
then
  :global.name := :ins2.name;
  :global.code := :ins2.code;
end if;
end;and the key-commit trigger:
if
  :ins2.name is not null
then
commit_form;
end if;
end;or assign the values to the globals after the call to the commit_form build-in:
if
  :ins2.name is not null
then
  commit_form;
  :global.name := :ins2.name;
  :global.code := :ins2.code;
end if;
end;Regards
