1. Describe the bug
Codecops do not behave properly in similar situations

2. To Reproduce
Create this peace of code:

internal procedure updateWarehouseActivityLine(pWarehouseActivityLine: Record "Warehouse Activity Line")
var
warehouseActivityLine: Record "Warehouse Activity Line";
description: Text;
begin
if pWarehouseActivityLine."Source Document" <> pWarehouseActivityLine."Source Document"::"Sales Order" then
exit;
if getItemNoAndNovatixNo(pWarehouseActivityLine."Source No.", pWarehouseActivityLine."Source Line No.", description) then begin
warehouseActivityLine.get(pWarehouseActivityLine."Activity Type", pWarehouseActivityLine."No.", pWarehouseActivityLine."Line No.");
warehouseActivityLine.validate(Description, CopyStr(description, 1, MaxStrLen(warehouseActivityLine.Description)));
warehouseActivityLine.Description := description; // <-------- Warning of posible overload
warehouseActivityLine.Modify(true);
end;
end;

And codecop, in this line:
warehouseActivityLine.Description := description; // <-------- Warning of posible overload
gives a warning.

But if you do the very same peace of code

internal procedure updateWarehouseActivityLine(pWarehouseActivityLine: Record "Warehouse Activity Line")
var
warehouseActivityLine: Record "Warehouse Activity Line";
description: Text;
begin
if pWarehouseActivityLine."Source Document" <> pWarehouseActivityLine."Source Document"::"Sales Order" then
exit;
if getItemNoAndNovatixNo(pWarehouseActivityLine."Source No.", pWarehouseActivityLine."Source Line No.", description) then begin
warehouseActivityLine.get(pWarehouseActivityLine."Activity Type", pWarehouseActivityLine."No.", pWarehouseActivityLine."Line No.");
warehouseActivityLine.validate(Description, CopyStr(description, 1, MaxStrLen(warehouseActivityLine.Description)));
warehouseActivityLine.Validate(Description,description); // <---------- No warning
warehouseActivityLine.Modify(true);
end;
end;

But you change the line with the warning with:

warehouseActivityLine.Validate(Description,description); // <---------- No warning

Namely, instead rec.field := value, rec.validate(field,value) CodeCops, do not give any warning
