Number and text input controls on Android devices may not display the correct keyboard
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.8
When running a Pega 7 application on a device using the Android operating system, pxNumber and pxTextInput controls may not display when using the desired on-screen keyboard. This happens when the number or text input type is set to number
.
At design time, the input type is selected in the Editable Format section of the Presentation tab in the Cell Properties panel for a pxNumber or pxTextInput control. Due to a known limitation in some versions of the Android OS running on some devices, the keyboard displayed at run time may not support entry of decimal values when a Number type keyboard is specified.
To resolve this issue, use the Phone
type when numbers with decimal values may be required. Using the Phone
type displays a numerical phone keyboard. The Android phone keyboard includes both commas and periods so that decimals may be entered.

Note that this issue only occurs on Android devices. It is recommended that applications for iOS continue to use type=“Number”.
Empty properties are not included in snapshot
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
History records are smaller and more efficient, because empty properties are no longer included in the snapshot. However, as a result, the history snapshot for sections might present a distorted view of the section.
