FormDataObject to DictField - different FieldIds when comparing to intrinsic function

Hi community,

im confused as to why I get two different FieldIds for the same field.

public void jumpRefItemExtension_BEC(FormDataObject _dataObject)
    {        
        Common              callingRecord = _dataObject.datasource().cursor();

        SysDictField        dictField = new SysDictField(callingRecord.TableId, _dataObject.dataField());
        SysDictField        dictField2 = new SysDictField(callingRecord.TableId, fieldNum(InventTableExtension_BEC, ProductSubGroupId));

        info("(dictField) : "     dictField.name()    ' '   any2Str(dictField.tableid())      '.'   any2str(dictField.id())       ' value: '   callingRecord.(dictField.id()));
        info("(dictField2) : "    dictField2.name()   ' '   any2Str(dictField2.tableid())     '.'   any2str(dictField2.id())      ' value: '   callingRecord.(dictField2.id()));
        
        ...
    }

But both FieldIds lead to the same field and value:

(note: _dataObject is initialized from jumpRef(FormDataObject _formDataObject) - method is executing when i click the value or right click field -> show details)

Problem is, when I use the approach of getting the _dataObject.fieldId() i cannot compare it withthe intrinsic function fieldNum(...) because they dont match

Is this new in D365? Im pretty sure that wasn't the case in AX2012

Thanks!
