.istemporary does not work in subscribers

[bpiechowicz]

Describe the bug

.istemporary always returns 'No' in subscribers. Please suggest a workaround if the bug is to be fixed in future versions.

To Reproduce

Run the below procedure 'CreateItemCategoryTemp':

procedure CreateItemCategoryTemp()
var
    ItemCatTemp: Record "Item Category" temporary;
begin
    ItemCatTemp.Init();
    ItemCatTemp.Code := 'test';
    ItemCatTemp.Insert();
    Message(Format(ItemCatTemp.IsTemporary));
end;

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Item Category", 'OnAfterInsertEvent', '', true, true)]
local procedure OnAfterInsertItemCategory(Rec: Record "Item Category")
begin
    Message(Format(rec.IsTemporary));
    if Rec.IsTemporary then
        exit;
    DoSomething(Rec);
end;

As the result, 'DoSomething' procedure is ALWAYS executed, regardless the record being temporary or not. The code above gives messages 'No', 'Yes'.

Expected behavior When the record is temporary the .istemporary in subscriber should return 'Yes'.

I think you need to receive (i.e. the publisher needs to pass) the record by var. Temporariness doesn't propagate through by-value record arguments in any case, AFAIK.
