Strange behaviour on KEY-COMMIT trigger

Question

Hallo!
I'm developing a form on Forms Builder [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 and I have the following problem:
In some of the fields I need to perform a check whether a user inserts correct content type (CAPS + language). To do this I have put on KEY-NEXT-ITEM and POST-TEXT-ITEM triggers on the fields an appropriate function to be executed that gives a suitable message to the user.
On form level I have a KEY-COMMIT trigger that performs some actions besides commit as well.
The problem is that if I enter wrong content on the relevant fields and right after I give SAVE (standard menu or toolbar way) I get the message displayed many times (more than the wrong fields) and no commit.
Any ideas what should I do to eliminate this?
Many thanks,
Alexandra

Thank you very much for the suggestions to use WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger. It works fine.
My problem was caused by the code in KEY-COMMIT trigger on form level (following COMMIT;):
CLEAR_FORM(no_validate);
do_key('enter_query');
These 2 lines caused the excessive validation producing multiple messages.
I replaced with:
If NOT form_success then
     RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
     else
     CLEAR_FORM;
     do_key('enter_query');
End if;
