Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Check added for parent case dependency if deferred-save is used
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After updating the status of a parent case to "Pending-ChildCaseDependency", the wait shape for the child case that should have been triggered by the status did not work and the child case remained on hold. This was a missed use case for the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity where defer-save operations on Index-AssignDeps class was not considered, and may happen when the Queue Processor is evaluating the dependencies while instances to Index-AssignDeps are not committed yet. To resolve this, code has been added to check the entry of the parent case dependency in deferred-save if its not present in Index-AssignmentDeps table.

Logic updated for DX API retrieving View/Action ID using embedded property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
While calling the DX API using Assignment ID and action ID, a 500 error response was logged indicating that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. Investigation traced this to the logic used for resolving an embedded property referenced in a control/field to identify the correct page class. In a non-work object context for flow actions the new assign page doesn't exist, but the system was checking for it and clearing off errors from the named page. This has been corrected.

Lock conflict resolved for AssignmentCheck
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The error "Unable to unlock this work object" sporadically appeared in both the runtime log and Pega RULES log when the robot was trying to create a case in Pega using an API call. Investigation showed that as the case was created, it was pulled by another robot (another requestor) which was using the GetAssignments API. This caused the perform assignment check to fail. To resolve this, a 'when' rule has been added to the performAssignmentCheck Activity.

Security updated to allow Access group switching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a member of two different access groups attempted to switch from one group to another, an "access denied" message occurred. This was traced to the use of BAC, and has been resolved by updating the pzProcessApplicationSwitch activity to use the pzEncryptURLActionString function to register the request.

Check added to prevent duplicate approval by single agent
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When using a cascading Approvals process supported both by a web access button or by responding via email, a single agent could use both methods and advance a case an additional step as if they were the next approval level. This was due to the system only checking the pzInsKey when processing the approval while the assignment key will be the same for the cascading approvals assignments. This has been resolved by introducing a datetime check to validate if the email approval assignment creation datetime and the one in the database have same value; if yes the approval process will proceed and if not it will exit.

Assignment routing updated for swimlanes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Routing options were not working for workbasket routing when using swimlanes. Investigation showed that when an assignment was added inside the swimlane, the assignment type value was defaulting to Worklist on submit of the assignment property panel. Manually changing it to workqueue did not make the routing section visible. This has been resolved by adding a 'visible when' condition to the "Route To" field to check if the assignment is not in the swimlane. The same check has been added to a 'disable when' condition for the 'Assignment type' drop down.

Updated bulk action audit history logic and security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, using the standard bulk action feature did not record an audit history entry for the SLA action on a case. This was traced to changes made around authorization for opening worklists when using pzBulkProcessItem that limited the audit history to reassign, transfer or transfer assignment, and has been resolved by updating the login the Work-pzBulkProcessItem activity. In addition, the Require authentication to run checkbox has been enabled on the Security tab of the activity, and the Allow invocation from browser checkbox has been disabled.
