Bug Description

Revision 12658 was fixing a behaviour for LINK fields, but introduced a bug for other special fields.

The field_type of the probe that is sent through a filter chain represents the DBF type of the field update. The dbChannelFinalFieldType() macro returns this, while the dbChannelFinalCAType() macro is supposed to return the DBR type.

This came up as pvaSrv has to treat DBF_MENU and DBF_DEVICE special, but these field types are not visible anymore.

Negative.

The downstream pvaSrv issue has been fixed using a workaround, this issue is still active.
