Riho-Rene,
This isn't clear enough.

Why do you have to set ID manually at all? Why not use GeneratorLinks for it?
Why are you losing any values in your generators? Do you have triggers
that are forcing new numbers into these fields? You need to make your
Before Insert trigger as

create trigger bi_aTable
active before insert position 0
as
begin
if (new.ID is null) then
new.ID = gen_id(aGenerator, 1);
end

If your trigger omits the null test, then you will get missing numbers.

What happens if you call the UpdateData method of the edit controls?

var
ii: integer;
..
..
with aForm do
for ii := 0 to ComponentCount -1 do
begin
if Components[ii] is TIB_CustomEdit and not(Components[ii] is
TIB_CustomGrid) then
if Datasource = aDatasource then
if Components[ii].Field.FieldName in (['FieldA', 'FieldB',
'FieldC']) then
TIB_CustomEdit(Components[ii]).UpdateData;
end;
