Bulk actions check in preserves declare expression legacy setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a declare expression was saved in legacy mode with "Whenever used" selected in change tracking, performing a bulk check-in of the rule caused the expression to default to the new forward chaining method. This did not occur when using a direct check-in. Investigation showed this was caused by the check-in page holding a legacy value before the step execution, and has been resolved by adding a pre-save activity before the validation activity that will restore the .pyIsLegacy value from .pyExpressionTypeSelector, if set.

CreateVersion rule updated for REST Integration Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using a JSON response in the Create REST Integration wizard to generate the rules, the wizard displayed a null pointer exception during the final generation. The error pop up message "Generation process has been canceled and all created records have been removed" was displayed on the screen. This was traced to the REST Integration Wizard putting data rules in the wrong ruleset version when the context of both the Integration Layer and the Data Layer were configured to use an existing ruleset and to create a new version of that ruleset, and has been resolved by modifying the pzCreateVersion rule to support this.

Added pause after Library Extraction to ensure Rule-Utility-Functions are present
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, nodes were not starting and the error "pub.context.InitializationFailedError: PRNodeImpl init failed" appeared. This was traced to an issue with the pzSharedTenant rule: when pzSharedTenant (Rule Access When) is assembled by the system, it uses the compareTwoValues Rule-Utility-Function. If the system is not able to find the correct version of compareTwoValues, it adds an UnresolvedAssemblyError in the assembly of the pzSharedTenant, causing the startup failure. This has been resolved by adding an await call after the LibraryExtraction task to wait for it to complete. This wait will ensure that the library extraction task completes before starting the search task which uses Rule-Utility-Functions

Support added for multiple host proxy architecture
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using an architecture where certain types of users were sent through multiple proxy servers to get the Pega Cloud instance, an exception was generated at the point of accessing the environment. This was traced to the use of Apache 2.4 with mod_proxy. As the request passed through each proxy, the x-forwarded-host header had values appended to it by mod_proxy which resulted in the error "com.pega.pegarules.pub.context.PRSecurityException: Multiple host names in header X-forwarded-Host". This has been resolved by updating the code to support using a multiple host proxy configuration.

Correct time zone chosen for fr_Fr appointment functionq
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the "fr_Fr" location and and "Europe/Paris" time zone for appointments, a null pointer exception was seen related to the function getStartOrEndDateTime. Investigation showed that the incorrect time zone was being picked from the fr_FR.xml file when parsing the date. To resolve this, 4 letter time zone codes have been moved above the 3 letter time zone codes.

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.

Case creation service activity unauthorized response modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When unauthorized users accessed the URL for creating a case, a blank screen appeared instead of the user being routed to a login screen. This was due to the system returning an HTTP 400 error instead of HTTP 401 response, and was traced to the introduction of an anonymous user type in the authentication activity (Authentication service in the service package). Case creation REST service uses pzCreateCase activity to create the cases, but before introducing the anonymous user type it was exiting from the authentication activity and did not call pzCreateCase. This was traced to the error handling relying on a field value to be in English when instead the site had localized the value, causing a mismatch which did not generate the necessary failed status. To avoid this, the system will now use the new pxStatusFlowSecurity process engine status instead of relying on a text match to determine this error.

Check added for string vs boolean for pzscan JSON
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When calling the CloudRemoteMaintenance/Work-/pzscan API, the response JSON had boolean values in the form of String which caused the JSON parsing to fail. The system was using ClipboardProperty.toStringValue() while generating outbound JSON from the clipboard page, which did not correctly interpret a boolean value. To resolve this, a check has been added that will assess the value and invoke ClipboardPage.toBoolean() when needed so that the value is converted as per type before generating the JSON.

Handling added for JSON with top level array
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using serialize mode in a JSON data transform where the Top element structure was Array and the “For JSON only” relation was selected for relation mode, the result had an incorrect JSON structure. In order to support this configuration, generatePropertyAsJSON has been amended to set isTopLevelPageList to true in instances where automap is off, the top level is an array, and the JSON context is updated within the first step. In addition, generatePageAsJSON has been updated to check this flag when processing mappings in order to ensure these context changes are processed, and updates have been made to generatePropertyAsJSON to ensure that the context is popped when appropriate.
