Prompt Select modified to properly handle XSS functions
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
A selection made in Prompt Select was not retained after refresh when special characters were present in the selected value. This was caused by XSS filtering functions that compared an encrypted value with the prompt value and negated it when it wasn't equal. To fix this, PromptSelect has been modified to call the crossScriptingFilter API before appending strDefaultValue to the stream.

Improved submit flow for better accessibility with JAWS
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When the Create or Submit button on a flow action is clicked, dismissing the "You are about to change the current window" popup would sometimes cause JAWS to read extraneous messages such as "Create button unavailable" and "Main region end". This behavior was sporadic and depended on how quickly the popup was dismissed. In order to avoid this, the button function calls have been modified.

Export to Excel replaces embedded control characters in APW
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In Application Profile Wizard, attempting to Export to Excel would fail if any specifications text contained an embedded control character (such as might appear after cutting and pasting from a Word or text file). To prevent the exporting failure, any control characters introduced into the generated data are now replaced with spaces during the export process.

Accessibility expanded to cover out-of-the-box controls and dynamic layout
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Previously, out-of-the-box controls like DropDown, DateTime, and Icon were not marked as accessible. These controls have been updated to be included in the accessibility framework. In addition, the accessibility report was erroneously flagging dynamic layouts as not accessible: properties that only freeform layouts use, which would be legitimate reasons for flagging accessibility issues, are flagged for dynamic layouts if they happen to be present. This has been corrected.

Corrected handling of double quotes in work objects
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
If the subject (.pyLabel) property in a work object contained a double quote character at the end of the text string, the error "Null Pointer Exceptions in SafeURL" would occur in the Case Manager portal. This was caused by a double-call to the escape encoding for these characters, and has been corrected to encode them properly.

Delete All Links' button disabled if rule is read-only
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When an Application Requirement rule is read-only due to being in a locked ruleset etc., the Delete All Links button was offered as an option. In order to avoid confusion, the Delete All Links button is now readonly when the rule is not editable.
