I am not sure if it can be done while in Add Mode as the values of Properties checked might not be available till the Item is added to the database.
Through Stored procedure you can do this once you add the Item Code.
The Code for the same is as below.  You need to Pass 3 parameters
The SQL to call the SP from the Item Description field would be
EXEC     [dbo\].[ITEMDESC\] $\[$5.0.0], $\[$39.0.0], $\[$114.0.0]
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo\].[ITEMDESC\](@ITEM NVARCHAR(20), @ITMSGRPCODE NVARCHAR(3), @FIRMCODE NVARCHAR(3))
AS
BEGIN
     DECLARE @GrpName AS NVARCHAR(20), @FirmName AS NVARCHAR(30)
     DECLARE @SQLString nvarchar(500), @I AS INT, @N AS NVARCHAR(2), @OUTPUT AS NVARCHAR(100), @PNAME AS NVARCHAR(100)
     DECLARE @ParmDefinition nvarchar(500)
     SET @ParmDefinition = '@ITEM NVARCHAR(20), @OUTPUT NVARCHAR(100) OUTPUT'
     SET @PNAME = ''
     SET @I = 1
     WHILE @I <= 64
     BEGIN
          SET @N = CAST(@I AS VARCHAR(2))
          SET @SQLString = 'SELECT @OUTPUT = CASE WHEN T0.QryGroup' + @N + '= ''Y'' THEN T1.ItmsGrpNam ELSE '''' END FROM [dbo\].[OITM\] T0, [dbo\].[OITG\] T1
                         WHERE T0.ITEMCODE = @ITEM AND T0.QryGroup'+@N + '= ''Y'' AND ItmsTypCod = '+@N
          EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition,@ITEM, @OUTPUT OUTPUT
          SET @I = @I + 1
          IF @OUTPUT <> ''
          BEGIN
               SET @PNAME = @PNAME + (@OUTPUT + ', ')
               SET @OUTPUT = ''
          END
     END
     SELECT @GrpName = ItmsGrpNam FROM OITB WHERE ItmsGrpCod = @ITMSGRPCODE
    SELECT @FirmName = FirmName FROM OMRC WHERE FirmCode = @FIRMCODE
     SELECT @GrpName + ', ' + @PNAME + @FirmName
END
