Yes, but you can always update the record after it has been saved. There 
is no problem with that.

You could write an Event Handler and trigger on the 
vtiger.entity.beforesave event.

Or, personally, I would write my own Javascript class and custom actions 
to deal with all this via Ajax so the fields are populated whilst the 
user sees it happening. You could wrap all this in a custom module and 
load the Javascript class using a HEADERSCRIPT link type.
