Updated logic for Spinner API used in DateTime control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When selecting 11, 22, 33, 44 in minutes in the DateTime picker, 11 was rounded off to 10, 22 was rounded off to 20, 33 was rounded off to 30, etc. This was due to the match and increment behavior in the UI Spinner Js API used by the DateTime control, and has been resolved by modifying the logic used to calculate the nextIndex in the keydownHandler API under ui_spinner.js .

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Withdraw task notification uses correct email sender
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When withdrawing a Task, the withdraw email was sent from the default email box instead of the expected Application default email box. This was traced to the 'pyTaskDeleted' (notification name for withdraw task) value not being present, which meant the system fell back to the task 'pyTaskAssigned' notification name. To resolve this, an update has been made to have pyIsPulseNotificationDefinition return true for a pyTaskDeleted notification.

Password expiry logic updated to use start of day
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Previously, the password expiry logic was based on a tight format of number of days+ timeStamp. This caused scenarios such as not prompting for a password reset when user logs in, but rather at the exact time stamp of the previous change even if that comes in the middle of work and throws the user out of the session. To avoid this behavior, the password expiry logic is now based on number of days logic with timeStamp defaulted to start of day (00.00) taking care of locale and getting difference in number of days.

Updated Attach Content Control for use in repeat grid
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
When using Attach Content Control in a repeat grid, selecting a file via attachcontent control and submitting the page resulted in the message "The operation completed successfully, but returned no content". This was traced to the newassignPage being removed after closing the modal, causing finishassignment to fail. To resolve this, the Attach Content Control function has been modified to set the needed grid attributes for desktop implementation to ensure newAssignPage will be available to the attach content modal action.

External mapping definitions will be used for exported property names
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
Under the "External Mapping" tab on the class definition, if the property names specified were not the exact format as the column names defined in the database table, an exception was generated when using the "Export" feature. For this functionality, the system was generating an SQL which used the property names instead of column names. This resulted in an invalid column exception and the export did not work. To correct this, updates have been made to NativeSqlApiResolver in the function resolver to check for the property name and replace it with mapping defined in external mapping.

Support added for using OpenMobile app as a Navigation action
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
After adding a menu item to the pyCaseWorkerNavigation navigation rule that was configured to use the open mobile app action with a mobile app ID of opensignal, the menu item was displayed in the mobile app but clicking on it did nothing for the user and the JavaScript console logged the error "Cannot open mobile app without scheme". The same action worked as expected when called from a button. This was traced to the "OpenMobileApp" action not containing support for being used as Navigation action, and the necessary code for that use has now been added.

Value Finder updated for use with external Cassandra nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attempting to use the Value Finder feature resulted in the error "Running Simulation is not possible because the required services are not available. Contact your System Administrator to enable the data flow and decisioning data store services." Analysis traced this to a check which identifies whether there is more than one internal node available for CDH/ DSS node. Since there were only external nodes available in this scenario and no internal nodes, the method returned false and returned the error when the CDH / VF page was launched. To resolve this, the check has been modified to allow for external Cassandra.

Documentation updated for accents and special characters used in search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The "Pega search API" article has been updated to reflect that the search functionality in Pega Platform does not match accented words with unaccented. For example, searching for santé and sante will retrieve different results. In addition, Domain Specific Language (DSL) includes special characters for use when searching, for example '-', '_', '!', '@'. However, the system retrieves various results depending on the way the special characters are used in the search query. If the query contains special characters that are not escaped, the system may retrieve incorrect results. For example, not escaping the slash mark in the 25/02 query may cause the system to ignore the special character.
