I have played around and found my CA working as I suppose it. Then (assuming that something has changed without me catching it) I searched around and found
ConflictCheckType. If I set it to 1 it TableUpdate returns false and AERROR() returns error 1585 or the like.

If ConflictCheckType is set to TABLEUPDATE() and the UPDATE to the backend fails, the CA will be updated (GetFldState(-1) returns all 1) while
ConflictCheckType set to 1 will not update the CA
