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.

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.

Survey Complex Question Definition properly displayed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Selecting any Complex Question to look at the definition displayed a blank screen. This was traced to an issue with the ruleformtabs properties for the layout group used by complex questions, and has been resolved by changing the Layout Group display type from "Default" to "Tab".

Improved Page compare for page groups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Field level auditing on embedded properties sporadically did not report the "old" value when a property was modified even though the page was listed as "Modified". This has been resolved by adding logic to the pxComparePages algorithm to treat Lists and Groups differently. Now Page and Value Groups will use pxSubscript as the primary way to detect add and deletes.
