Inserting records with MultiSelect option records has asynchronous behavior.

In our unit tests we discovered the behavior that inserted records are not immediately retrievable.

This smal code leads to the following output:

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
            var service = new CrmServiceClient(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyCRMServer"].ConnectionString);

            Account test = new Account
            {
                Name = "Test",
                new_tagEnum = new[] { new_account_new_Tag.Black, new_account_new_Tag.Blue }
            };

            service.Create(test);
            var start = DateTime.Now;
            var count = 0;

            EntityCollection result = new EntityCollection();
            while (result.Entities.Count == 0)
            {
                count++;
                result = service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(GetFetch(new_account_new_Tag.Black)));
            }

            var end = DateTime.Now;

            Console.WriteLine(count);
            Console.WriteLine(end - start);

            Console.ReadLine();

        }


        public static string GetFetch(new_account_new_Tag param)
        {
            string fetch = $@"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>
  <entity name='account'>
    <attribute name='name' />
    <attribute name='primarycontactid' />
    <attribute name='telephone1' />
    <attribute name='accountid' />
    <order attribute='name' descending='false' />
    <filter type='and'>
      <condition attribute='new_tag' operator='contain-values'>
        <value>{(int)param}</value>
      </condition>
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>";
            return fetch;
        }
    }

That brings me to the following conclusion:
- the transaction is not finished after a successful insert.
- Up to 3 seconds elapse before the data record can be read correctly.

I executed the same code again, but with a query for the name. The result was as expected, the record was delivered immediately.
This means that only the multiselect options are normalized asynchronously.
