RAD publish fails if change is made in Report RequestPage #8222

1. Describe the bug
When doing a RAD publish after a full publish (Ctrl + F5) took place and a change was made in a report request page, the RAD publish fails with:
error AL0670: Fast publishing failed because the RAD file has specified a non-existing application object of type : 'RequestPage' name: 'RequestOptionsPage' ID: '' to be added or modified. Please do a full publishing before issuing a fast publishing again.

I do understand the documentation for RAD saying that RAD changes include application objects and that a RequestPage technically isn't considered an application object like page, report, table, but since it's part of a report, I'd still expect this functionality to work.

2. To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create an example report like below
report 50100 "My Awesome Report"
{
    Caption = 'My Awesome Report';
    ProcessingOnly = true;
    ApplicationArea = All;
    UsageCategory = None;

    requestpage
    {
        layout
        {
            area(Content)
            {
                group(Settings)
                {
                    Caption = 'Settings', Comment = 'DEU="Einstellungen"';

                    field(RequestFilterField1; RequestField1)
                    {
                        ApplicationArea = All;
                        Caption = 'Filter 1';
                        ToolTip = 'Specifies filter 1 for the report.';
                    }
                    field(RequestFilterField2; RequestField2)
                    {
                        ApplicationArea = All;
                        Caption = 'Filter 2';
                        ToolTip = 'Specifies filter 2 for the report.';
                    }
                    field(RequestFilterField3; RequestField3)
                    {
                        ApplicationArea = All;
                        Caption = 'Filter 3';
                        ToolTip = 'Specifies filter 3 for the report.';
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    var
        RequestField1: Text;
        RequestField2: Text;
        RequestField3: Text;

    trigger OnPreReport()
    begin
        this.DoStuff();
    end;

    local procedure DoStuff()
    begin
        Message('I''m doing very awesome stuff!');
    end;
}
  1. Do a full publish of the app.
  2. Make a change to one of the fields in the request page, add/update one of its properties like Visible or Editable.
  3. Do a RAD publish without debug (Ctrl + Alt + F5)

Note: Because the developers need to copy and paste the code snippet, including a code snippet as a media file (i.e. .gif) is not sufficient.

3. Expected behavior
I would expect the RAD publish to finish successfully.

4. Actual behavior
The RAD publish fails with error AL0670.
