Corrected date display on export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Reports which have visible date and Date time properties or values displayed correctly when viewed in PEGA, but when the data was exported to Excel the values were converted to GMT time. Due to this the date fields (with no time stamp) were showing the date less by one day in Excel. This has been corrected.

Updated logic for delegating when the RARO exists
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When trying to delegate a Data Type, the validation error "Update Record Failed: This record is non-versioned and already exists and can not be moved to a different ruleset" appeared. Because data type delegation is dependent upon the existence of a RARO for the delegated data type, when delegating the ruleset of the RARO to accessgroups with the same roles the code was attempting to update the RARO. Updating the RARO determines if the Ruleset of the RARO is unlocked. If the ruleset is locked, then the logic attempts to select a new ruleset, but the RARO cannot be moved to a new ruleset. To resolve this, the logic has been updated so that if the RARO exists, the system will not try to create a new instance.

Agile Studio correctly embedding attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Attachments were not being included in Agile Studio documents for backlogs and sprints as expected. This was traced to the third-party jar "jsoup", which was converting the parameter PegaDocumentObject to pegadocumentobject, causing a mismatch. This has been resolved by adding a check that will replace the converted name with the correct one.

Related cases of different types properly linked in Case Worker Portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After creating a case of type1 in the Case Worker portal, creating a case of type2 from the first case showed the case ID of the second case in the Related Work section as expected. However, after clicking on the link of the case ID of the second case from the related work section, the second case opened but the case ID of the first case was not shown in the Related work. The cases were correctly associated when the Case Manager portal was used instead. This was traced to the Case Worker clipboard continuing to hold the previous case ID thread, and has been resolved.

Added backwards compatibility for migrated when rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrading from v6 to v8, the 'when' rules were replaced with "" in a custom decision tree. In 7.2 and earlier releases, the Rule-Obj-When function alias had its param name as "strName"; this was changed to "blockName" in later versions of Pega. To handle backwards compatibility, the pzEmbedUpgradeToHarnessBased activity has been modified to read the strWhen param value from pyCallParams and set it to blockName params correctly under pyFunctionData.pyParameters data model, conditionally only for Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Expression Builder test functionality updated to improve context resolution
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrade, running a test in Expression Builder to evaluate an expression resulted in a 'Property undefined' error. Although the test functionality failed, the data transform rule was properly saved and no issues were observed at runtime. This was traced to a change made in the way the IDs on input elements were made unique. This caused an issue with Expression Builder resolving the correct context when the Source property page was not the primary page class, such as in these cases:1) For Each Page with the "Also use each page as source context" checkbox checked 2) Update page using the "with values from" 3) Append and Map to with "an existing page" 4) Append and Map to with "each page in" To resolve this, the pzEBHiddenElement function has been updated.
