Added handling for Google Chrome drag and drop of Outlook email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Attempting to drag and drop an email from Outlook to a case opened in Google Chrome resulted in the email being moved to the Outlook deleted folder. This was traced to Google Chrome defaulting to defining the "dropEffect" attribute as "none" when the expectation is it should be "copy". To resolve this, the recommended handling from Microsoft has been added as an event to make a copy (and not a move) an email from Outlook when dragged and dropped with Google Chrome.

Error message removed for adding a new datatype to a branch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Clicking 'add data type' for an application when no unlocked rulesets were available resulted in the error message "No unlocked Rulesets/Versions found that are valid for this record. Unlock at least one Ruleset/Version that can contain records of this type.". However, it was possible to create a data type by choosing branch. Investigation showed this message was added by the activity pzLoadTypeToBeAdded and is not needed: it has been removed from the step that appended the message when validating on click of submit.

"Keep file open" updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When "keep file open" was checked, Connect-File was failing with a java.io.IOException: Stream Closed error if called more than once. When "keep file open" is checked, the very first Connect-File call saves the handle to the OutputFileStreamWrapper of the requestor page. Any subsequent Connect-File calls will access this saved OutputFileStream but the stream is already closed, resulting in the exception. To resolve this, the try-with-resources statement that closed the OutputStream has been removed.

Parameter handling updated for cloned environment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The Editable data page parameters were not getting set in a cloned environment. This has been resolved by adding code to detect the use case ('append and map to action' with 'a new page' relation) and let it fallback to legacy code generation.

Null check added to resolve addmapcasetomap error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Using a createcase flow shape to create child cases by looping on a page list on the parent case resulted in pzaddmapcasetomap throwing an exception related to the activity pzLoadCaseHierarchyWrapper in step 5. This was traced to a page being removed after the list of pages was received in findPageByHandle, and has been resolved by adding a null check.

Handling added for passivated file upload and attach
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
When storage type repository was configured and any file type other than image was uploaded while pyIsStreamBasedUpload was set as true, uploading a file and keeping it idle for 15 minutes before clicking on attach caused pyattachInputStream to become null on the DragDropFileUpload pagelist. This caused an activityterminateException in tracer and the assignment was not submitted. This exception was due to a check in attachFile activity that calls terminateactivity when streambasedupload is true and attachinputstream is null. To resolve this, a validation rule has been added to check if the page exists, streambasedupload is true, and pyattachinputstream is null or has a value. If it is NULL, a message will be displayed about reattaching the file(s).

Handling added for datetime set by relative reference
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When initializing a datetime property contained within .pxPages() in a data transform rule, if the property being set applied to @baseclass it was initialized as decimal string while all other properties were handled as normal GMT-based Pega date time strings. Investigation showed that the decimal value was set when the target page was given by a relative reference like .pxPages(TEXT) which was also defined on Pages & Classes. This has been resolved with an update to detect relative reference as page name in Pages & Classes tab and fall back to the old assembler.
