Alphabetical sort function restored to Legacy Report Browser
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When the new report browser was introduced in Pega Platform 8.1 the sorting functionality was changed to sort by update time instead of the previous behavior of sorting alphabetically. This change to the logic behind sorting reports ended up applying not only to the new report browser but to the legacy report browser as well, eliminating the ability to use an alphabetized sort for both. This fix re-adds the functionality to sort reports alphabetically by adding selectable sorting capability to the legacy report browser that enables switching between sorting reports by update time and sorting alphabetically.

Handling added for newline in a cell exported to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
It was reported that new lines (br) were not displayed in exported Excel even after adding the control format with style tag <br style="mso-data-placement:same-cell;" />. This was due to a missed use case when Export to Excel was revised; as a necessity, the new Export to Excel does not support HTML as the old one did, and handling for line breaks in a cell was missed in this implementation. To correct this, wrapping has been enabled on AutoGenReportUIField and NonAutoGenReportUIField and ReportUIUtils.stripHtmlFromValue() has been updated to convert tags to line breaks.

prproductmigration build.gradle updated for new mime4j asset name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
While running the getMigrationLog for ProductMigration script provided in the Pega 8.2.2 media files, errors appeared referencing "NoClassDefFoundErrors when running getLogs". This was caused by the referenced class not being found on the classpath: the version of the included jar did not include the class needed due to Praxiom's default version being updated to use a new version of mime4j that required an asset name change. To resolve this, the mime4j asset name in prproductmigration build.gradle has been updated to pick up the correct version of the dependency for Praxiom.

Harness context will be stored to handle on click executed outside of the Ajax Container
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
An exception was generated in the interaction portal on execution of a post-value action for the on-change event on a text-box in the service case: "Failed to find instance Work-Interaction-Research.EmailBodyRTE of type Rule-HTML-Section". This was traced to a condition where clicking outside of the Ajax Container context to trigger the change caused the Events code to execute the event in the active context when the active context had already been changed by clicking outside of the AC. To avoid this, the system will store the harness context in the event object using pega.ctxmgr.getContextByTarget(target) API.

Check logic added for change in datetime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After selecting a valid date in the calendar UI, clicking outside of the DateTime control caused the date to disappear when using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. Investigation showed that the order of events execution is different in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, so that by the time the getReadOnlyFormatting method was called, the data-changed attribute had already been updated to 'false'. This caused the read-only formatting to not be applied so the data-display-value was considered to be empty. To resolve this, a check has been added to better detect the change so that read-only formatting gets applied.

Enhancement added to modify URL encryption for load testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
An enhancement has been added which allows conditionally modifying URL encryption for load testing. This uses the flag crypto/useportablecipherforurlencryption: if true, a portable hardcoded key is used to encrypt the URLs and if false, a dynamically generated key per thread/requestor is used to encrypt the URL.

Column formatting default added to Export to Excel to match Export to PDF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After running the pyGetWorkHistory report in Designer Studio, exporting the report to PDF showed the correct data format for the Message Key column while exporting to Excel did not. In the Report Definition UI and in Export to PDF (which use the same logic), when the backing property of a column has no control and the column does not have a format, the control falls back to a "Default" control. The "Default" control localized the string values in the Report Definition UI and Export to PDF, therefore changing the Message Key to be the correct value in those places. The similar logic to explicitly handle the "no control" scenario has now also been added to Export to Excel to resolve this issue.

Added handling for deprecated UI Kit in Pulse OpenURLInWindow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, clicking on a link in a Pulse comment opened a new window with an error message indicating no content was returned. Investigation showed that if an older deprecated version of the UI kit was used, 'Open URL in window' was configured as Run Script function. The more recent versions use an OpenURLInWindow action. To resolve this, the script has been updated to use an action and pass the correct parameters.

Handlign added for Japanese half-space character during DB query
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After creating a Report Definition based on the Unicode/Japanese text property with summary list, the list was visible from Report viewer but any full size space used by the summary filter was unintentionally trimmed to half size space. As a result, the database query could not find the item. This has been resolved by modifying the setGroupByInputs API in the pega_report_summary js file to use the unicode space char(\u0020) instead of \s in regex. The Japanese space character will be replaced in the pzDrillDownReport activity step 2 for the query use, and will be set back to the Japanese space character in pyFilterValue.

Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.
