Documentation updated for altering data type to Timestamp to avoid duplicate data in Decision Hub
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
By default, the pxOutComeTime column has a Date data type in the pr_data_ih_fact table. This may cause duplicate data issues. To resolve this, the 8.5 and 8.6 installation and upgrade guides for Pega Customer Decision Hub have been updated to include a new procedure "Modifying column definitions to use the TIMESTAMP datatype in an Oracle database". Performing this procedure will allow users to avoid the duplicate data issue. All documents are available from the Pega Customer Decision Hub product page.

HTML tags escaped in Audit History field values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The case narrative section was showing case statuses with encoded special characters such as % or ( ), resulting in entries such as "Status changed to Complete &# 40;approved& #41; !@##$: %^& amp;*&# 40;&# 41;_&# 43;.</div>". This has been resolved by updating the PyMemo field from type Text Input to DisplayAsLiteral for case narrative, which matches the setting for case history.

Collaboration control hidden if data type is delegated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When collaborating using a customized CaseManager portal with some delegated data types, the admin user refreshing the Data Type view changed the collaborator's view from the portal to show the Data Type tabs, allowing the second person to open rules (properties, Data Pages, etc) and see the configuration even though they could not make any changes. This has been resolved by updating pzDataTypeDelegated to display the collaboration control only if pzDelegation is false.

Corrected doubled tag removal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After adding two tags for a Service case, attempting to delete the first tag resulted in the second tag also being removed. When three tags were present in the case, deleting the first tag caused the first and second to be deleted. Investigation showed this was caused by the run activity pyRemoveTagLink being called twice in run time, and has been resolved by updating the run activity.

Filename with non-ASCII characters normalized for Apple Safari upload
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Apple Safari browser, attaching a file name that contained Japanese characters resulted in an "attachment doesn't exist" error message when trying to open it again. This was caused by the special characters in the FileName for the Data/Query string not being encoded during the file upload, and has been resolved by updating the UploadFileToADocument activity to normalize the FileName if the Safari Browser is being used.

Query split added to handle Oracle expressions limit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The PXCHECKFLOWDEPENDENCIES activity was throwing the Oracle error message "ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000" when a case had a very large number of sub-cases, causing a failure in trying to submit additional child cases which sent them into the broken process. This has been resolved by updating the pxCheckFlowDependencies rule to break down the query parameter into batches of 999 so they can be handled by Oracle.

Improved accessibility for Disclosable Documents/attach files/auto selection dropdowns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using Dragon for accessibility, issues were seen when trying to select different options in the dropdowns related to attaching multiple files. This was caused by the legacy grids being used not supporting this type of accessibility functionality, and has been resolved by updating pzAttachFileDDFileList to use an optimized table instead.

Portal Header persists appropriately
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The Portal header was disappearing immediately after case attachments were opened from the right sidebar and did not reappear even after refresh. This was traced to the absence of pd(event), and has been resolved by adding pd(event) to the onclick attribute in the anchor tag in the attachment UIKit rules.
