File Listener made more resilient
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When file listener encountered a FileNotFoundException as a consequence of sporadic AmazonS3Exceptions, the listener was disabled and no retries were made. In order to make the file listener more resilient, FileMatchConcentrator has been updated. While file listener is running and trying to get the next set of files, if the isDirectory() method returns false due to a non-existent directory or some other intermittent issues, instead of throwing an exception and shutting down the file listener, the system will now log the exception and continue.

Description input for new reports restricted to 64 characters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
After saving a report with a description containing more than 64 characters, trying to delete the same report generated error messages saying the report description exceeds 64 characters. There was no maximum character limit set on the description input when creating/editing/save as a report. The delete modal shows any page-level warnings, so the guard rail warnings show up at that time. This has been resolved by disallowing the creation of a description greater than 64 characters in length.

Revoke Access Token check removed from OAuth Client Registration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When client credentials were implemented, the OAuth 2.0 Client Registration form was designed such that once the instance was created and a token issued, the access tokens were deleted on save. Process changes now indicate that it should be possible to save the form because it may only have History Description/Usage changes made to it and Revoke Token and Regenerate Secret buttons are already available. To address this, the Revoke Access Token check has been removed from the validate activity of Client Registration.

Added ability to disable dirty form browser alerts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
In order to add support for those who do not want to see a browser alert pop-up when cancelling a work item after making changes but do want the out-of-the-box Dirty popup to be displayed, an update has been made to add a configurable flag. If pega.u.d.bUseNativeDirtyConfirm is set to false, only Pega dirty dialogs will be shown. Setting it to true will show the Pega dirty dialog or else the browser dirty dialog for an event object.

Resolved 403 error for refresh of incognito window with CSRF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Opening the simpleurl in a fresh incognito window opened the work object in a standard thread, but on refresh of the window a 403 error appeared and the screen went blank. This was a missed use case for the recently-added CSRF validation for non-ajax get requests which are redirected post requests. The CSRF token was being validated if pzPostData was in the request, but once the original request was complete the request map was cleared and the pzCtkn value in the request map was empty, resulting in the 403 error. To resolve this, the system will skip CSRF validation for a refresh scenario where the post data request map is empty after the original request, and validation has been added for the blank pyActivity in the request.

Custom rich-text editor plugin support updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
At runtime, two rich-text editors were used in the same harness under two different sections, one regular and one hidden till clicked. A custom plugin was implemented for rich-text editor at the harness level. After upgrade, the custom plugin was not getting displayed in the hidden rich-text editor. Investigation showed that if plugins were added to pega.ctx.customrich-text editorPlugins, then the plugin manager discarded plugins from pega.u.d.customrich-text editorPlugins. To resolve this, the rich-text editor plugin manager has been modified to merge the plugins from pega.ctx.customrich-text editorPlugins and pega.u.d.customrich-text editorPlugins.

Stages list wraps in App Studio preview
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
While previewing an application in App Studio, the Approval stage section which included a header containing a chevron with each of the eight stage names across the top was displayed with the center pane expanded to accommodate the header and part of the right pane content pushed off the right edge of the window. A horizontal scroll bar was also added even though the stage names were truncated and displayed with ellipses ("..."). Investigation showed that the styles targeting stages were using flex nowrap as part of custom styles generated in pyenduser, and the styles have now been updated for stages for desktop to wrap if the number of stages would otherwise extend the screen.

JAWS no longer reads out table structures
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When JAWS encountered tables, it considered them to be data tables if there were no aria labels or roles defined on it and proceeded to read out the table structure to the user. If one of the td had ' ' it read out as blank. Table tags being generated for layouts are now given a "role" attribute as "presentation" for accessibility compliance: this will mark the table structure not to be read out by JAWS. In addition, JAWS will read out any html associated to the input rather than the aria-label format information.

DefaultValue API updated to retain values after deleting rows
Resolved in Pega Version Pega Platform, Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When deleteing rows from a repeating grid configured with readonly dynamic select control, the remaining rows were not properly holding their values. For example, if the row number to be deleted was "x", the "x+1" row occupies the Xth row place, but x+1th row's drop down value becomes lost and resets to "-Select-" value (Default Value). This was caused by the setOptionAndCaption API setting default caption instead of default value for the option tag. To rememdy this, the DS_setDefaultValue API has been updated.
