CurrFieldNo in OnAfterInsert not set when set from TestPage (was #5400)

https://github.com/microsoft/AL/issues/5400 is still an issue.

Through having written a bunch of code using it, I have determined that I wasted my time, as in BC CurrFieldNo does not work how it used to in NAV, as documented in: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/xrec-and-currfieldno

That link is the top search result on Google and Bing for "Business Central" CurrFieldNo... not a good look to have that outdated info, instead of an updated page for BC screaming THIS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE...

It was written here: https://github.com/microsoft/AL/issues/4152#issuecomment-440182277

We have decided to only fix your second issue, since the first one is by design. If you invoke validate from the client, the `CurrFieldNo is updated, but if you invoke it from code, it isn't.

Anyway... I'll file a doc bug for that.

Back to AL itself - surely there should be an exception for Test data types, as they should emulate what will really happen in the client...?

but I have tested, so you don't have to, and the code in #5400 clearly does not.

Please advise. Thanks!
