ComponentName fallback added for toggling page context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Whenever the External Strategy configuration was changed from "Another Page" to "Current Page", pyComponentName property was not being created. This was a missed use case for toggling page context for external substrategies in the user interface of the strategy designer, and has been resolved by setting pyComponentName to its default if reset when switching context.

Updated SimpleDateFormat to remove lenient parsing mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using File Dataset to ingest CSV files with the required Date format set as yyyyMMdd, an error was thrown if the date value provided in a file was in the format '14/04/1971', but a date format such as 14-04-1971 did not produce an error but instead was mapped to a Date value of 00131204. . This has been resolved by disabling the lenient mode of parsing in SimpleDateFormat.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

Alternative pyLabel source for Auto-generated Proposition Filter added as fall back
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After using save-as to move an offer/action rule containing eligibility criteria into a new ruleset /branch, the criteria disappeared. Proposition Filter has an explicit dependency on relevant records, and in this scenario investigation revealed all of the relevant records had been previously deliberately deleted. Using save-as on auto-generated CDH rules like actions is also not a best practice. To better handle unexpected actions like these and avoid the hard dependency on Relevant Records, when creating the Proposition Filter via the programatic API the system will fall back to reading the label from the sourcePage if is not possible to get the label from Relevant Record.

Workaround to resolve HP NonStopDB column label bug
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Using HP Non Stop DB as an external DB with Type 4 driver caused Connect-SQL with Browse to generate the error "UNKNOWN_COLUMN_0: Column number 0 has an invalid name errors in clipboard" but still return the data. This was traced to a bug in the HP driver that caused the getColumnLabel() to be returned as empty, and the system has been updated to return the Column Name when Column Label is null or empty to overcome this.

ClipboardContext updated to handle nested page lists
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
The Append and Map to method was looping over the top-level pages instead of specific page in the JSON transform. This resulted in a null when trying to get the children of the page list property because the updateClipboardContext() for updating the mapping used only the immediate parent. To resolve this, the updateClipboardContext() function has been modified to include the context for the root element so finding the children of the page list property works as expected in a nested page structure.

Prediction outcome response timing updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Predictions using a response timeout were not emitting a negative response ('NoResponse') when the specified waiting time expired. This was traced to the the outcome and response timeout values being overridden while triggering responses for multi stage predictions along with chained predictions. This has been resolved by modifying the flow to emit each outcome as it is received and by adding the dataflow trigger in the function so that it does not override the values in case of chained predictions.

Updated handling for validating/saving circumstanced rule on branch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Using 'save as' for an already circumstanced rule with a new property/template caused the Rule-.DictionaryValidation activity to register the error "StandardValidate-CircumPropAlreadyDefined". The same activity Step did not throw an error when saving into Branch. This was traced to the ruleset name not being the same for the branch ruleset due to having _BRANCH_Branch-Name appended to its name, and has been resolved by adding a condition to check for circumstanced rule in a branch.

PDF barcode generation from eForm given configurable parameter checkbox
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When generating a PDF file based on an eForm that contains barcodes displayed via base64 encoded images, making the file read-only by using ConcatenateEForm's PerformFieldFlattening option prevented the barcodes from displaying. This was due to an "append" flag being passed to the 3rd party iText Library API "PdfStamper", and has been resolved with the addition of a flag (EnableNewVersion) in the "GenerateEForm" activity. The parameter will be by default true and may be unchecked for false, and is accompanied by a tool tip on hover of the checkbox as well as iText help.
