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.

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.

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.
