Table header aria label updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In a PegaWAI enabled application with the NVDA screen reader, a table header column which had filtering enabled was read as "Column Name Enter to Filter" on the first focus, but the filter operation did not work on hitting enter. When focus was moved to the second tab, the filter worked as expected. This was traced to an incorrect aria-label in the table header description, and has been resolved.

Handling updated for customDateTime formatting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a feature date was entered, for example as 2021/07/29 12:00:00 AM, changing any other property caused the time to be off by 4 hours and display as 2021/07/28 08:00:00 PM. Investigation showed this was caused by the parameters being passed in an incorrect order while calling pega.ui.Formatter.formatDateTime() in combination with customTimeZone, and has been resolved.

ServicePackage threads properly released
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After completing a system stress test, the requestor pool threads for the ServicePackage were not released. Investigation showed that the threads were waiting for Data Pages to be loaded in the background even though there was no background job corresponding to those data pages in the Async Services pool. This has been resolved by making an update to avoid removing the object handlers when the load-datapage finds that an entry exists with a NOT_STARTED state.

Handling added to StreamChangeTracker for non-String mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Incorrect StreamChangeTracker mode properties were being tracked for value changes. Investigation showed this was due to the StreamChangeTracker.trackValueChanges API tracking value changes on properties of mode page and page list, which resulted in logging a WrongModeException in the logs. This has been resolved by updating the behavior of the StreamChangeTracker.trackValueChanges API to return false when value change tracking is invoked for a property other than mode String.

Added safe check for ActivateTabs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
After configuring a data transform action for a close icon to set a requestor level data page value and a parent-level dynamic layout was configured with a refresh when condition to track this Data page property, pzMicrodynamicContainer was throwing a null pointer exception after this refresh occurred indicating the tag name passed to isRegularTarget function was invalid. This has been resolved by adding a safe check to ensure that activateTabs is called only for tab based Ajax containers.

Cancel button on embedded GridRow cancels single action
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a modal Flow Action contained a Table with the Row operations configured as Master-detail and the Detail flow action was specified, if a validation error defined in a Validation rule (i.e. other than required field error) occurred while entering details for one of the rows and the Cancel button for that row was clicked, the entire action was cancelled and the modal window was closed without saving anything. This has been resolved by updating the system to prevent the modal closure if a row is added and then cancelled.

Links to specifications persist appropriately
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When linking Rules to Specifications, check-ins of some unrelated rules deleted the link. Investigation showed the deletion happened in the pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn activity, and was caused by an empty parameter page name that caused pcInsKey to not have a value, so all links returned by "Obj-Browse" were later deleted. To resolve this, an update has been made to insure the "Pass current parameter page" option in step 2 of the Connect REST PostCheckIn activity is enabled so that the downstream activity pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn behaves as expected.

Case Archive updated to better prune email and attachment metadata
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring pyPegaArchiver, pyPegaIndexer and pyPegaPurger to remove old cases, there were no records present in the pr_metadata table but the records related to Data-Corr-Email, Data-WorkAttach-File and Link-Attachment remained. As there is no harm in removing these entries because the system has already copied the reference to these attachments, the entry in pr_metadata can be removed without any issue. With this update, external and shared entries now get removed from pr_metadata table when a purge is performed, however they do not get removed from the target table.

Corrected layout group overlapping content
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When an editable Table with Master Detail Edit has a section that contains a Layout group (Tab) inside the Master Detail Flow Action, if there are more layout group headings than that can be contained in the screen, a left and right arrow are displayed to toggle between headings in the layout group heading bar. However, timing issues sometimes caused the contents of the layout group to overlap on top of the content below the layout group and the screen was freezing with a loading icon. This was traced to console errors, and has been resolved by adding an 'undefined' check to prevent those errors.

Performance improvement for Application Save: Node Level Data Pages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
As part of new functionality introduced in 8.3, data types defined in the application record will be turned into data objects on Application save. As part of this process node level pages are invalidated and reloaded and there is an explicit commit that marks the Application record as dirty and sends any calls for the application record to the database for fresh records. In a multi-node environment, the number of queries to get the application record being saved became exponentially higher and performance impacts were seen. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip eager loading of the data page definition when an access rule or application definition is saved.
