Added handling for checkbox group to use form tag when field tag is not available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After configuring the Checkbox group component from the UI gallery in one of the sections in an application built on Theme-Cosmos, the configuration worked as expected when creating a new case type, but opening this WorkObject from the Associated cases section on the child case caused behavior issues including being able to select select multiple options instead of a single radio button. Investigation showed this happened when navigating through the work flow under the Perform Harness, but worked as expected when navigating through the Review Harness. This has been resolved by modifying the selectors to target form tag if the fieldset tag is not available.

Corrected tabbing focus when modal flow has 'disable when'
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
While tabbing through the modal dialog, focus moved to the background screen if there were custom flow action buttons that had a 'disable when' condition. This was caused by the last focusable element being a disabled element, and has been resolved by adding a disabled check in the getLastFocusableElement method that will determine whether element is disabled, and if so it will look for other elements as disabled elements can't be focused.

Performance improvement in When parsing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, performance issues were seen in the execution of rules with When conditions. This has been resolved by modifying the code to address some inefficiencies in the parsing method.

SurveyPage loads when ruleset is locked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When the ruleset containing the survey rules was locked D_pzSurveyPage did not load and errors were generated. Investigation showed that if the flow was in a locked version, the PopulateShapeNodesFromFlowData activity did not call EvaluateConnectorState, causing the mapping of the transitions for connectors to fail in the activity MapBranchShapeConnectors. This has been resolved.

Testcases are not available for 'access when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Attempting to create test cases for access when rules resulted in guardrail warnings about the need to create a test case. Because Test Cases are not available for the Access When rule type as per Pega expected behavior, the guardrail warnings are not valid and have been removed.

Data sync updated for use with DeferWrite
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After upgrade, attempting a data sync from the client mobile application worked for the first object submission, but the second object failed and stayed in the list. This was traced to finish assignments running back to back when deferWrite was enabled and svcPerformFlow failed to find the assignment. To resolve this, the assignmentHandle will be passed to the activity when calling the pzSetDeferWrite activity from FinishAssignmentActionProcessor.

Hazelcast will be used to determine node presence
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When calling logoff from the end user portal, sporadic PresenceStandardLifeCycleListener exceptions were seen during high load periods. This was traced to changes made in the Service Discovery behavior: when there is an issue with the node and heartbeats are missed, the node goes to Safe Mode. This caused the topology to change and trigger clearing off presence sessions, but the node still received service requests and this issue was seen. To resolve this, an updated has been made so the system will rely on the Hazelcast listener instead of service discovery to determine whether a node has left.

Refinements made to MarkerNode memory use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Significant memory usage can be observed when data join in strategies are missing the join conditions. E.g., when the primary source in the strategy can have up to 300 or even more propositions, the join without the join condition would perform a cartesian product with possibly up to 400 or even more records returned. This may cause performance degradation. To guard against this, an update has been made that seeks to prevent repetitive markers being accumulated under a MarkerNode while trying not to rely on any implementation of equality and hashCode for individual marker implementations.
