Documentation updated for accents and special characters used in search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The "Pega search API" article has been updated to reflect that the search functionality in Pega Platform does not match accented words with unaccented. For example, searching for santé and sante will retrieve different results. In addition, Domain Specific Language (DSL) includes special characters for use when searching, for example '-', '_', '!', '@'. However, the system retrieves various results depending on the way the special characters are used in the search query. If the query contains special characters that are not escaped, the system may retrieve incorrect results. For example, not escaping the slash mark in the 25/02 query may cause the system to ignore the special character.

Help information updated for using Elastic Search with Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The support article "Configuring a report definition to run against an Elasticsearch index" has been updated to clarify that the search can pass multiple values with a space in pySearchString as it does OR operation on all the fields, and that filters in the report definition will be used when executing the report directly or when calling the report in the pxRetrieveSearchData activity. https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/system-administration/85/configuring-report-definition-run-against-elasticsearch-index

Database table correctly prevents deletion if there are descendant classes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When deleting a concrete class with descendant classes via an activity (Rule-.Delete), the Rule-Obj-Class.ValidateDeleteInternal activity was throwing an error message indicating the class could not be deleted due to descendant classes. However, the corresponding database table rule was deleted anyway. Investigation showed this was caused by ValidateDeleteInternal not reaching the Obj-Save-Cancel step. This can be fixed by modifying step 11, the post when conditions, to jump to END and set the END label at the Obj-Save-Cancel step instead Exit-Activity, but this issues has been resolved by updating all failure states to run end step. In addition, security has been updated to disallow "Allow invocation from browser".

Loop handling updated for Decision Table OR conditions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The system was crashing when saving or checking in a decision table with 21 columns and 20 rows where each cell contained 1, 2, or 3 OR conditions. Investigation showed this was caused by an indefinite number of loops when 'or' conditions were used in the test consistency activity, and this has been resolved with an update which ensures only the specified number of loops are performed.

Survey navigation type set for use with complex CB refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After upgrade from Pega 7.1 to Pega 8.5, creating a legacy survey used in pxSurveySection with a complex CB question page that contained a refresh option had collapsed tree navigation, the survey name was blank, and duplicate labels were found in picklist questions. To resolve this, an update has been added which will set the navigation type in parameters after a complex CB refresh and skip page copy while upgrading survey work objects.

Discard button works consistently
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After check out, the discard button was not working consistently for decision tables or MapValue. Investigation showed this occurred when an exported file was being downloaded in the same window, as the thread would be busy with the file and not able to perform the discard action on the window. To resolve this, the configuration for the download on the same window has been removed, exportToDecisionTable has been modified to handle an iframe, and a runScript action has been added to register the exportToExcel activity and download in iframe.
