DateTime localization enhanced
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, language packs were literally translating items like datetime format without regard to the proper grammar of that language. For example, the date time format "4 days ago" came up as an "4 Tage vor" in German, which is not correct usage. A localized parameter-based API with 54 different field values has been added to the pxFormatDateTime RUF to allow field values with arguments so the proper localization text can be displayed.

Corrected label issue for language pack
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a language pack was imported, the labels on the expand and collapse pane were appended with translated values instead of being replaced. This was caused by the presence of an extra space at the end of the string "Click to expand " and "Click to collapse " in workformstandard that caused a JS mis-match, and has been corrected.

Added clipboard clearing for correspondence
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
External assignment was sending out the email correspondence that was configured in earlier stages/flows instead of sending the correspondence that is given in the external assignments rule form. This was a problem with the clipboard where CorrPage was not cleared after the CorrCreate is invoked. To resolve this, CorrNew activity has been modified to add a step to clear the CorrPage.

Resolved MultiSelectList control issues for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The MultiSelectList control was no longer working for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+. When a user attempted to select one or multiple items in the MultiSelectList control, the values were not captured when going to the next screen and a JavaScript exception was thrown. This was due to an API change in newer versions of the Internet Explorer (Microsoft Internet Explorer) browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is following a more strict standard about how the createElement function is used, which caused the JS error to be thrown, and the system has been updated to resolve this issue.

Resolved issue with duplicate thread creation
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In Designer Studio, a new thread was created on every click of New Item in the recent list. This was due to the contentID generated not being passed at the document launch time, and the APIs have been updated.

Collapsible header text updated for accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a UI layout/section used a collapsible header, JAWS read the field values "Click to expand" and "Click to collapse." Using the word "Click" is not optimal for accessibility, and this field has been changed to "Disclose contents" and "Hide contents."

Smoothed multiple portal tabs handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After opening the Case Manager developer portal, if a user portal was opened in a second tab using the 'Switch Portal' option shown in operator menu, returning to the developer portal tab caused that tab to be refreshed and the user portal tab to close. Previously, attempting to open a second portal session in a tab of the same window resulted in a 'Multiple sessions running' error. This limitation was removed in Pega 7.x. However, in this case the 'ShowDesktop' activity could not determine the 'ThreadName' parameter and defaulted to the 'Standard' thread and this change caused the refresh. The logic for determining the thread name has been updated to remove this issue.

Corrected assembler issue with XML header parsing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
An assembler issue after upgrade was causing SOAP services to have issues parsing the request header. By the time the parsing is completed, header properties in the clipboard page were missed. There was a workaround of dynamically switching to the old assembler, but this has been fixed.

"Required" checkboxes now working properly with Firefox
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using Firefox, putting focus on a field which has "Required" checkbox checked and clicking "Enter" button caused the flow to ignore the checkbox and move forward without showing any error on the screen. This was an issue with the browser not supporting the event prevention code, and the system has been updated to ensure expected behavior.
