Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Escalation updated to ensure assignee is notified of missed deadline
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
The Passed Deadline SLA Actions to send email to the owner were not triggered as configured in SLA rule form. To correct that, pzMapEasyEscalationParams steps 3.4.10 and 3.4.11 have been modified to support "NotifyAssignee" for the passed deadline.

Check added for backwards compatibility with Case Type when rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, the When rules present on case type rules (used for skipping stages or showing/hiding stage-wide or case-wide actions) were not executing at run time. This was traced to the introduction of the pySkipOrAllowType property in recent versions, and was only reproducible when the ApplicationRuleset was locked and after upgrade irrespective of whether the condition for when was true or false. To resolve this and enhance backwards capability, a check has been added for the SkipOrAllowType property being empty.

Security improvements for ApplicationInventory and Delete Class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
It was possible to call the activity "ApplicationInventory of class Rule-" by appending the activity name in the URL. To improve security, the ApplicationInventory activity and HTML rule have been removed from the system. In addition, it was possible to access the "delete class" screen and perform actions on top of it by directly appending the stream to the URL. This has been refactored so the screen will be presented only if the pzSystemOperationsAdministrator privilege is in the current access group.

Related cases of different types properly linked in Case Worker Portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After creating a case of type1 in the Case Worker portal, creating a case of type2 from the first case showed the case ID of the second case in the Related Work section as expected. However, after clicking on the link of the case ID of the second case from the related work section, the second case opened but the case ID of the first case was not shown in the Related work. The cases were correctly associated when the Case Manager portal was used instead. This was traced to the Case Worker clipboard continuing to hold the previous case ID thread, and has been resolved.

Check added to apply values of newAssignPage.pxFormName
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After upgrade, trying to open existing assignments resulted in a different harness being opened. This was traced to changes in how the property newAssignPage.pxFormName was used, and has been resolved by checking whether the harnesspurpose is dynamic before setting the pxFormName. If formname is already present, the system will proceed with picking the harness from the shape.

Unneeded class name filter removed from GetRelevantPropertiesForDataType
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Given one class with a set of properties and another class inherited from the first class containing a relevant records set for class 2, then a new harness did not show the base class fields. Investigation showed that the fields present in the parent class and marked relevant in the case were not being fetched due to pzGetRelevantPropertiesForDataType having a class name filter along with filter by rule resolution. To resolve this, the class name filter has been removed as it is not required due to the report already filtering by rule resolution and relevant class through a join.

Handling added for different access groups updating a case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When a parent flow was configured with a Wait shape to wait until any AccessChild case reached Pending-Authentication and then the “Update a case” shape was used to update the case status of child cases using a Data Transform, the Wait shape was being processed successfully but the child cases were not always updated as expected. This issue occurred when the cases were processed by users with different access groups, so the ProcessFlowDependencies agent processed the dependency. In this scenario, findPageByHandle returned an incorrect WorkPage because of the different access groups. To resolve this, pyLoadMyCasesNested Step-5 and pzProcessIndividualDepAssignment Step -13 now make additional checks to verify whether the page found by findPageByHandle API is a valid WorkPage or not.

Corrected row focus for deleting in App Studio case model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When attempting to delete a row of properties from the 2nd page of the data model of a case type while using App Studio, clicking on the delete icon brought up a dialog box asking for confirmation for deletion but at the same time the screen went back to the first page of the data model instead of remaining on the second page. Because of this, clicking on the OK button to confirm the deletion caused a random property from the first page to be deleted instead of the targeted row of the second page as expected. This was due to the refresh being triggered immediately within overlay UI actions, and has been resolved by updating the first trash icon action set for the section pzExpressFieldActions to be a modal instead of an overlay when launching local action.

Approved flow rule image unlocked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When the Approval Required check box was enabled for rulesets (i.e another person with access to this work queue should approve changes to the rules), a rule which was approved was unlocked and moved back to the original ruleset as expected, but the binary image associated with the flow rule remained locked and any other user other than the one who previously checked in the rule was denied access with a "check out failed" error. This locking error has been resolved by modifying the Rule-Obj-Flow!CleanUp activity to set Param.IgnoreInstanceLockedBy = true.
