Link-Association-Follow updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The report definition 'pyGetAssociations' was generating the error "data.internal.rd.reference.InvalidReferenceException InvalidReferenceException .pxLinkedRefTo Cannot use an unexposed property as there is no BLOB column for the class: 'Link-Association-Channel'". This has been resolved by updating pzUnfollowReview to handle Link-Association-Follow, which will prevent these log errors.

Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.

Updated AttachmentPreview control for Account Manager Access Group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Account Manager Access group as the default and only access group on a profile, attempting to render a PDF on the click of a link did not work as expected. The render-on-click worked as expected when logged in as the Author and the application was switched to Account Manager. This has been resolved by registering the activity pzAppStorageOkToAttachFile in the pzAttachmentPreview control.

Clipboard page handling updated for encrypted values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When retrieving data that contained encrypted properties, the clipboard page either did not load, or if it did load the encrypted properties were not listed on the clipboard. This was traced to use of a read only data page, and has been resolved by updating pzRemovePWD with handling for read only pages.

Security updated for @baseclass
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, searching for a baseclass 'when' rule returned no results. Listing the rules under baseclass in App Explorer resulted in the error "Applies To: The Class with key value(s) %40baseclass does not exist". This was an unintended side effect of security updates, and has been resolved by creating an exception path for "@baseclass".

GetFunctionsForLibrary retrieves 10,000 rows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Some functions were missing from the expression builder browser and search results when pyShowInternalLibrary was set to true for including internal functions in the results.

Line break handling added for setting required question asterisk
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
If a survey question was formed in multiple sentences, the asterisk marking it as required was not displayed in screen. The asterisk displayed as expected if the question was one sentence. This has been resolved by updating the setMandatoryIconforQP script handle linebreaks and set the required symbol as expected.

Added handling for FieldValue issue during Excel export
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, the export to Excel function for business-rules kept and maintained via Decision-Tables created a file that Excel could not open. This was traced to a function call in the Results tab and the Return Actions in the decision table which caused an issue with the generated Excel to be used for editing. To resolve this, any allowed values will have quotation marks removed before the vales are passed to the export.

Added special character handling for DecisionTable column-label
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
The label of a decision-table column was being appended to the original decision-table return-value. The column label and comparator were handled differently for columns containing special characters (+, -, *,...), causing the data after the special character to be trimmed and appended to the row output value. This has been resolved by adding handling for special characters so the output and the label are rendered properly.
