Corrected error when persisting temporary work object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When persisting a temporary work object using the Persist case shape, the internal assignment handle was not updated to include the work object's ID. Subsequent attempts to access the internal assignment (such as the "Edit" button on the Review Harness) resulted in errors. Investigation showed that when a temporary case was persisted, pyInternalAssignmentHandle was not getting recalculated after pzInsKey was updated. To resolve this, the configuration on the edit button has been modified to use .pxFlow(pzInternalCaseFlow).pxAssignmentKey which is what pyInternalAssignmentHandle declare expression was also returning.

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After upgrade 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".

Resolved importing PublicFormat file using RuleFromFile Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When attempting to create a flow from a Public Format XML file using the Rule From File Wizard, the following error was seen: "Problem invoking function: pega_procom_harvest.performXSLT--(String,String,boolean,HashStringMap)". This was caused by a mapping failure related to the pyComments property in baseclass pega social functionality, and has been resolved with the addition of a new page group property pyComments of type "Data-MO-Annotation-Comment" which applies to "Embed-Rule-Obj-Flow-ProcessModel".

Added workaround to handle HiddenPropertiesToIgnore when a page is in Read Only mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
A 'WrongModeException' was generated while trying to use the Data Transform pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore to remove system properties from page. When the Datapage was set to Editable/Savable mode, the Activity ran without an error and executed the Data transform. When the Datapage was in Read only mode, the error occurred. This was traced to a process that previously was allowed to set a page to an empty string, but which was removed during recent work. To resolve this, four instances of pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore that included Single Page Value properties have been updated by moving them to the bottom of the Data Page and changing them to an "Update Page" from a "Set".

Expanded results for Proposition Filter Relevant Record Properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
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.

Comments explicitly excluded from generated ruleset under localization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
A generated URL link from Correspondence Fragment (WorkLink) which was saved in Pega-ProCom_ja was incorrect due to an incomplete URL. The ruleset Pega-ProCom_ja is not provided from the platform, but is generated when using localization. In this case, a comment fragment was included in the rule when it was generated, causing the issue. To resolve this, comment handling has been updated to ensure it's not included when generating the rule.

Improvements made to Excel data import handling for decision tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
On importing an Excel file into a decision table, the values modified in Excel were getting updated even though the rule was checked in after the import. Investigation showed that the API which handled converting the imported Excel file for use on the clipboard was defaulting to save actions if the rule was not checked out or in private edit before the import. In order to prevent future issues, the following changes have been made in this area: The "Import" button will be enabled only after clicking on checkout button, and discarding the checkout will also discard any imported values. When checkout for the rule set is disabled, only the save option will be displayed on the decision table. When the import button is visible and enabled, imported values will not be preserved if Actions -> Refresh is used before saving. When rulesets are disabled, the decision table can only be private edited and at that time the save and import buttons will be visible. When private edit is visible, the import button will be in a disabled state.

DSS added to control Pega Version Banner
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Nuisance errors were being logged related to the application trying to connect to Pega to confirm available versions. This has been resolved by adding the 'when' rule pyShowVersionBanner to pzStudioHomeWrapper which allows disabling/enabling the Version Banner based on the setting used in the DSS ShowVersionBanner. pyShowVersionBanner defaults to true when DSS ShowVersionBanner does not exist.

Application quality page retains info on reopen
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When the application quality page was accessed for the first time the page displayed all the data properly, but if it was closed and then opened again all the counts were blank. This was traced to an issue with converting the date from the client to the database, and was seen when the Oracle database had date filed as key and type date. The issue did not occur if the type was varchar2. To resolve this, the system will use obj-open-by-handle instead of obj-open while fetching the details of AQD.

Strategy rules open from proposition filter after update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After update, strategy rules could not be opened from the proposition filter. This was caused by the pxInsName property being populated only when a strategy rule gets selected/configured from the CB gadget. For upgrade scenarios where the condition is already configured with a strategy rule, the pxInsName property will be missing. To handle this upgrade use case, the "Rule-open-by-keys" action will be used instead of "Rule-open-by-name", as rule keys are always present while pxInsName gets populated for only new configurations.
