Decision Table check-in warnings supported for large tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After adding an empty row in the middle of Decision Table rows and checking in, the Decision table rule's CheckIn form shows a functionality warning about a conflict in decision table ("This rule contains 1 logic conflict(s). Click the 'Show Conflicts' button for more details."). However, this behavior did not occur as expected if the decision table had more than 500 cells in it, and has now been resolved.

Expression Builder updated for special character handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
If a modulo operator (%) was used in expression builder, the expression showed the correct value when it was submitted (closed) but on reopen the expression was changed and not calculated correctly. If the expression was not reopened then it calculated the value properly. This issue was traced to a server call to pzEvaluatePegaExpression which treated certain values as containing special characters, and has been resolved by updating the handling for this scenario.

Decision table null input handling updated for backward compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After upgrade, any null values as inputs in the decision tables were skipped if "Allow Missing properties" was not checked. This behavior was different from previous versions. In order to improve backward compatibility, the new function pxEvaluateDecisionTable has been added which has an additional parameter to set AllowMissingProperties, and the older function logic has been modified to take the parameter value from the parameter page.

Support added for connect-SOAP run in parallel mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When connect-SOAP was configured to use the “run in parallel” mode, application settings derived through a datapage had incorrect values. While running the connect-SOAP through an activity, all the values were derived incorrectly. This has been resolved by adding a synchronization enhancement to support parallel run connect.SOAP.

Removed unused function to improve Class rule save performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Clicking save on the Policy Class rule was not working correctly or was taking an excessive amount of time to respond. Adding property mapping in the External Mapping tab of the Class rule exhibited the same behavior. Investigation showed there was an infinite loop being invoked in the class ruleform, which was traced to the disableKeyEntries() function. As this function is no longer used, this has been resolved by updating the RF_RuleObjClassScript.js to remove disableKeyEntries and any function calls to it.

Toolbar delete handling modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After upgrade from Pega 7.4 to 8.5, the toolbar delete button behavior was different. Previously, the pzRuleFormToolbarDeleteRule section rule invoked RuleFormMain on refresh, but the updated version was calling RuleFormHeader, preventing the deletion of the assignment from the class instance. This was an unanticipated edge case and has been resolved by updating the action in the button to refresh the section RuleformMain instead of header.

JAWS correctly reads work group header
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
While creating the groups within the organizational unit, JAWS was reading the name of the frame as "Process Work Area" instead of "Create Work Group" and "enter data" instead of the name of the edit field with edit instructions. This has been resolved by adding a property to the short description label so it contains the instance type that is being created.

DSS added to control Pega Version Banner
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Nuisance errors were being logged related to the application trying to connect to Pega to confirm available versions. This has been resolved by adding the 'when' rule pyShowVersionBanner to pzStudioHomeWrapper which allows disabling/enabling the Version Banner based on the setting used in the DSS ShowVersionBanner. pyShowVersionBanner defaults to true when DSS ShowVersionBanner does not exist.
