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.

Added special character handling for DecisionTable column-label
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The label of a decision-table column was being appended to the original decision-table return-value. The column label and comparator were handled differently for columns containing special characters (+, -, *,...), causing the data after the special character to be trimmed and appended to the row output value. This has been resolved by adding handling for special characters so the output and the label are rendered properly.

Line break handling added for setting required question asterisk
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
If a survey question was formed in multiple sentences, the asterisk marking it as required was not displayed in screen. The asterisk displayed as expected if the question was one sentence. This has been resolved by updating the setMandatoryIconforQP script handle linebreaks and set the required symbol as expected.

Database table correctly prevents deletion if there are descendant classes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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".

GetFunctionsForLibrary retrieves 10,000 rows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Some functions were missing from the expression builder browser and search results when pyShowInternalLibrary was set to true for including internal functions in the results. To resolve this, the default value for "Maximum number of rows to retrieve" in pzGetFunctionsForLibrary has been increased to 10,000.

Corrected null values being set to 0 in GenerateExcel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The pxGenerateExcelFile activity was loading $0.00 in place of a null value for decimal columns. This has been resolved by updating the logic for GenerateExcel.java to skip double properties default value for non-existent clipboard props and extend the same fix to the integer class. Safety checks have been added before setting cell type to check if property exists, and handling has been added for a specific exception instead of generic exception for both decimal and integer use cases.

Discard button works consistently
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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.
