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.

OpenRuleAdvanced updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After upgrade, the Update Page and Append and Map to step in Data transform was generating the error "No Server connection while giving page name to Target and Source". This was traced to the OpenRuleAdvanced_OverLabel control, and investigation showed that a variable was not being resolved when invoking pzEncryptURLActionString. This has been resolved by updating OpenRuleAdvanced and reimplementing two parameters as well as moving the call of these variables to the beginning of the script. Security has also been improved by moving some of the encryption to SafeUrls.

Route to configuration in the approval flow accepts Specific User parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Route to configuration in the approval flow was not accepting a parameter value/property value when select Specific User option from drop down was chosen. This was traced to unique ID change work done in the 8.2 release: the pzSimpleApproval section has two controls (DropDown for Participant & AutoComplete for Operator) configured on same property pyOperatorToAssign with "run visibility on client configuration), and when the control value was being changed in the AutoComplete control, the empty value of DropDown control was being posted to the clipboard. To correct this, the section Work-.pzSimpleApproval has been modified to remove performing run-visibility conditions at client side. Instead, the system will use the ".pyApproverType Changes" condition to refresh the wrapper DL which contains the routeTo type Operator/WB/Participant property controls.

Guided tour popups handling added for right-to-left language locales
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Guided Tour Popups were still appearing in the default EN location after switching to the ar_AR locale. This was traced to a missed use case for locales using a right-to-left mode such as Arabic or Hebrew, and has been resolved by updating the guided tour engine openPopOver function to account for the HTML tag dir attribute for value of "rtl". This will anchor the pop over to rightBottom / and display the arrow on the rightTop instead of leftBottom / leftTop.
