Handling added for designtime page used in runtime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After creating a survey with branch Create survey cases routed to different actors, some cases missed the assignments and were left idle with no access to progress. Survey cases (with branches) having the 'when' conditions in flow connectors experienced this intermittently in production. This was traced to the use of D_pzSurveyPage data page called from the ProcessUpdate data transform while creating the survey: this data page is for design time and should not be used at runtime as it requires design time pages like CaseTypePage which will not be available at runtime. To resolve this issue for runtime, in Step 3 of pzGetAllConnectors, pyClassName will be copied from the step page and set for pzGetConnectorsForDecision.

Withdraw task notification uses correct email sender
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When withdrawing a Task, the withdraw email was sent from the default email box instead of the expected Application default email box. This was traced to the 'pyTaskDeleted' (notification name for withdraw task) value not being present, which meant the system fell back to the task 'pyTaskAssigned' notification name. To resolve this, an update has been made to have pyIsPulseNotificationDefinition return true for a pyTaskDeleted notification.

Improved accessibility for Disclosable Documents/attach files/auto selection dropdowns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using Dragon for accessibility, issues were seen when trying to select different options in the dropdowns related to attaching multiple files. This was caused by the legacy grids being used not supporting this type of accessibility functionality, and has been resolved by updating pzAttachFileDDFileList to use an optimized table instead.

Pinning document to space correctly generates thumbnail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When pinning a document to a space using the standard document repository tile, the resulting pin did not have an image corresponding to it. The process worked properly when pinning a document directly from the space itself. This was a missed use case and has been resolved by adding an update to set the pyImage of the document while pinning the space.

Filename with non-ASCII characters normalized for Apple Safari upload
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Apple Safari browser, attaching a file name that contained Japanese characters resulted in an "attachment doesn't exist" error message when trying to open it again. This was caused by the special characters in the FileName for the Data/Query string not being encoded during the file upload, and has been resolved by updating the UploadFileToADocument activity to normalize the FileName if the Safari Browser is being used.

Security updated to allow Access group switching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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.

Field Level Audit updated to handle hierarchical properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Field Audit was not working for the first change of the data selected/provided for a field. The audit was only reflected after the second change was made. When the property involved a series of hierarchies, for example pageprop.pagelist(1).pageprop, the FLA objects will initially use deferred saves and the generated pzinskeys will be added to a savedFLAMap object. However, when the last pageprop was not eligible to save, all the deferred saves of earlier records were cancelled but the inskeys were not removed from the savedFLAMap object. Because of this, the parent FLA records were assumed to have been saved already when those saves were actually deferred. This was a missed use case for hierarchical properties, and has been resolved by adding an update to remove the inskeys from the savedFL

WorkLink URL generation updated for security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a WorkLink in an email, clicking the link and entering credentials on the login screen resulted in a 403 unauthorized error. This was due to a WorkLink URL generation issue caused by the non-encryption of the RedirectAndRun activity call in the URL, and has been resolved.
