Added handling for Create Source and Target properties of Date
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A report definition was not displaying results after update, and a stack overflow was reported. This was a missed use case for Create Source and Target properties of Date, and has been resolved by adding a boolean flag to avoid autochain during validations when data type is Date.

Resolved classcast exception with assembled HTML controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A classcast exception was being generated on login. Investigation showed the Static Assembler was unexpectedly using a different Assembler to assemble the Html control rule. Standard behavior is that StreamBuilderAssembler assembles controls of type StreamBuilder and ControlAssemblerForVTable assembles controls of type ControlBuilder. In this case, static assembly for HTML controls using VTable was performed using StreamBuilderAssembler, causing a classcast exception when using VTable because the instance of the generated.html class was incorrectly inheriting from StreamBuilder (the parent class of ControlBuilder) instead of ControlBuilder which is the specified interface in the generated.html Java code. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip rules of type 'Rule-HTML-Property'(control) during Static Assembly.

React-based UI app alias supports space or dash
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When using the "React-based UI" (Beta test version) in App Studio, portal creation was successful but previewing the portal showed only a blank page and a 404 error code was generated. Switching to "Server rendered UI" rendered the portal as expected. Investigation showed that the alias had a space in the name which was handled as a dash (-), and this issue has been resolved by adding support for using a dash in the app alias.

Offline ExpressionEvaluator documentation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When working offline, issues may been seen due to the == operator in JavaScript returning true if any 'false' value, e.g. "0", empty string, or "false" is used for comparison, leading to the expression false == "" to return as true. While a solution is in process, the documentation for the Offline ExpressionEvaluator has been updated to reflect this use case may create unexpected behavior in an offline data transform, and outlines the workaround of not using words like "Yes", "No", "false", "true" or 1 0 values.

Page group property passed correctly for complex questions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When the Pega Survey Smart shape was used to configure a list of complex set of questions using Question rules and invoked using the Survey shape, the reload system was not passing the subscript value for the Page group property pyQuestionnaire. This caused an Invalid Reference exception and displayed an error pop up for the end user. Investigation traced this to a call to RefreshList to load a section holding pyQuestionnaire(Subscript) page content which was in place as part of a legacy fix but which has since been made unnecessary due to infrastructure changes in the DOM utilities. To resolve this, the ComplexQuestionCheckboxTemplate and pzComplexQuestionCheckBoxTemplateRowDetails section rules have been updated to remove the RefreshList action on checkbox.

Compiler jars load as expected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The system was not able to pick up the Default Paths and Default Classes arguments in Configure->System->Settings->Compiler tab when attempting to use a third-party custom jar file. This was an unintended consequence of work done to address performance issues when a requested DASS instance was missing, and has been resolved by ensuring that null values are not cached where are are lookup failures. In addition, enhanced logging has been added to SystemSettingsImpl.

Attachments successfully fetched with CMIS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.5, trying to fetch an attachment from CMIS storage and attach it to an email generated an exception. This was traced to a repository name null check which always evaluated to true when used with CMIS, and has been resolved by removing the null check from abstractRepo.

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.

SQL query handling updated for mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When the check box in mobile channel "Disclose application size when users log in for the first time" was enabled it produced the error "There was a problem getting a list: SQLState: Message: ERROR: relation "pr_data_full_sync_stats" does not exist". Investigation showed that all SQL queries passed to getDb().executeRDB(...) method were using the SQL table directly, ignoring any customizations to table mapping or database prefixes. This has been resolved by replacing the table name with a class reference ("Class: Pega-OfflineFullSyncSizeStatistics") so that table mapping can replace the reference with a proper table name and proper database prefix.

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.
