Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Special characters escaped for use in "is in List" lookups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After creating a specific criterion on any proposition using a string property, the "Is In List" operator, and a customer list with one value containing a "$", clicking save or check in resulted in the exception error "Problem invoking function: pega_decisionengine_propositionfilterfua.pzPropositionFilterMethodBody--(PublicAPI,ClipboardPage) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Matcher.java:857) ". This has been resolved by escaping regular expression control characters in string replacement, which will allow the use of characters such as the $ sign for "is in List" lookups.

Tokenizer updated to handle commas
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The Text Analyzer was not working as expected in cases where the number was combined with a comma (,) with it but was working when a space was used between the number and the comma. This was traced to the tokenizer not correctly processing and splitting the input text when there was a special character before or after the token. This has been resolved by updating the tokenizer logic.

Expanded results for Proposition Filter Relevant Record Properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Previously, a maximum of 500 records were returned from pr_data_tag_relevantrecord when using Edit Parameters for the report definition proposition filter rule. In order to accommodate more complex needs, an update has been made to use the D_pxGetClassDataModel data page to fetch all the records and make them available in the dropdown.

Multi-level strategy gives correct rules during Batch run
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When using a nested page structure with multi-level strategies that loop through each page and process the customer, a customer with two linked customers A and B had the results of A overridden by B during Batch Processing while single case canvas testing showed the correct results. This was caused by the DSM clipboard page method of carrying the parent page info not supporting the re-use of pages, and has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will sanitize the strategy stage processor to ensure the correct page reference is used.

Support added for connect-SOAP run in parallel mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When connect-SOAP was configured to use the “run in parallel” mode, application settings derived through a datapage had incorrect values. While running the connect-SOAP through an activity, all the values were derived incorrectly. This has been resolved by adding a synchronization enhancement to support parallel run connect.SOAP.

Alternative pyLabel source for Auto-generated Proposition Filter added as fall back
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After using save-as to move an offer/action rule containing eligibility criteria into a new ruleset /branch, the criteria disappeared. Proposition Filter has an explicit dependency on relevant records, and in this scenario investigation revealed all of the relevant records had been previously deliberately deleted. Using save-as on auto-generated CDH rules like actions is also not a best practice. To better handle unexpected actions like these and avoid the hard dependency on Relevant Records, when creating the Proposition Filter via the programatic API the system will fall back to reading the label from the sourcePage if is not possible to get the label from Relevant Record.

Delegated rules search considers localized text
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The search / filter box used to look for particular delegated rules on the configuration tab did not consider localization via field values, where the on screen name and description of the delegated rule was localized. This resulted in the search text being compared against the original text (.pyAdviceText and .pyDescription) used for the name and description at the time the rule was delegated, but not with the localized text that actually appeared on the screen. This has been resolved by updating the pzPopulateDelegations activity to filter by localized values of pyAdviceText and pyDescription.
