SR-D58552 · Issue 522088

Report Definition filter editing shows all values correctly

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

After launching a report, certain values were not populated on the pop-up when editing the filters or the commas separating the values did not appear. This was traced to the activity pzGetSelectedValues containing an older implementation of column type checking, causing it to report some embedded property references as being of type "Included Page" instead of the type of the ultimate property. This has been resolved by updating step 1 to only use this logic if pyDataType is not set, which should already be set for all filters and columns, and the formatting has been corrected.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from RD

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

When using Export to Excel directly from a report definition, a date column specified using pxDatetime was shown as applied date format in the resulting Excel file. The column was formatted as expected if the export was called from an activity. This was traced to the recent refactoring of Export to Excel: it was not expected that it would be called directly, but rather that it would be invoked from a report viewer ruleform. In order to support this direct use, step calls have been added to the pzRDExportWrapper activity to call pzMergeAutoGen before the engine call. This step will merge the pyModes pages from pxDateTime control.

OrgUnit delete works as expected

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

After creating two organization units such as Unit1 and Unit11 on the same level and mapping one operator to Unit11, attempting to delete Unit1 resulted in an error indicating the operator had to be deleted first even though unit1 had no operator associated with it. This was traced to Obj-List performing a 'like' check instead of exact match check for the deletion, and has been resolved by updating the ValidateDelete activity to do obj-browse instead of obj-list.

SR-D19999 · Issue 488268

Logic updated for displaying email attachments

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

Once an Email had been sent with attachments, additional attachments could be added to the work object at a later time and would show up when the work object was opened as if they had been part of the original transmission of the message. This was traced to the logic not accounting for for the state of the data-corr-email object and showing all the work object attachments as sent as part of the email irrespective of when the attachment was added. To resolve this, the system has been updated to save all the attachment keys that are sent as part of the email on the data-corr-email instance and use that property while retrieving the list of attachments sent on the email. If the attachment is deleted, no hyperlink will be shown but instead a message on hover on the attachment memo will note that the attachment was deleted and not available for download.

Enhancement added to expose BrowserAttachmentTypeTable

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

By default, the inline view of PDF files appears with the thread name visible. An enhancement has been made to expose pzBrowserAttachmentTypeTable as a py rule: when the DT is overridden such that return is false for PDF, the inline view is not displayed but instead the PDF is downloaded when clicked.

SR-D23723 · Issue 503089

pxGenerateExcelFile updated for handling blank dates

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

When using a custom template for exporting to Excel, blank DateTime property column values defaulted to the current date or to 1/1/1970. To resolve this, the pxGenerateExcelFile activity has been updated to ensure that an empty date will be exported as blank and that given dates will appear in the correct datetime format.

SR-D24470 · Issue 494628

Custom attachment category parameter passed to dropdown

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

Attempting to use the out-of-the-box “Attachments control” which was configured at design time to use a custom category where both the custom category and the section class were in the same work class resulted in the attachment category dropdown defaulting to “File” instead of the custom category. Investigation showed that the custom attachment category name configured on the control was missing in one of the pre-processing activities sequence. To resolve this, the activity Work-.pzInitAttachContent and the initAttachmentPage activity have been updated to pass the custom attachment category parameter.

SR-D24651 · Issue 495766

Proper assignment instructions sent when transferring

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

Assignment instructions were not getting added properly when transferring to Workbaskets. Because both .pyInstruction and Param.InstructionNote are set in call Reassign (to workbasket), the same instruction value was being given twice. To resolve this, step 8 (Call Reassign) of Work-.pyReassignAssignment has been modified and will not send the InstructionNote param as instruction is already updated on the newassign page with the instruction value on reassign page in the previous step (step 7).

SR-D24950 · Issue 494567

Added explicit step page to resolve null-pointer exception with custom error message

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

A null pointer exception was generated during case run time harness refresh after a custom error message was inserted. This was traced to a blank step page related to the custom message, and has been resolved by adding a primary step page at step 10 of the New(Work-) activity to prevent the null-pointer exception on harness reload.

SR-D26589 · Issue 496722

Formula properly evaluated in pxParseExcelFile activity

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

When trying to use the activity pxParseExcelFile on an Excel file containing three sheets where each sheet had a different pagelist, the properties mentioned in sheet 1 were populated on upload but the remaining sheets only showed the error message "Could not get clipboard property for reference Work Queues.". This was caused by an error in Row index handling for the additional sheets, and has been resolved by updating the logic to populate the data in the clipboard.
