Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.

Logic made consistent for design time group condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An inconsistency was seen between the logic string that appears when switching from "Group ORs" mode to "Use advanced logic" mode at design time, though whichever mode was used at Action check-in was always properly reflected on the generated proposition filter so there was no runtime impact. This design time issue was traced to the property "pyGroupConditionsByOld " being empty: this property is transient so its value will not be saved into database. This property should be updated whenever user changes the Logic operator from the drop-down, and this has been resolved by adding an intermediate property to hold the old group condition value when it changes.

MSOFileTransferButtons control withdrawn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.2 to 8.6, attempting to modify migrated delegated rules resulted in a 403 error. This was traced to the Download/Upload activities configured to use the MSOFileTransferButtons control: BAC restrictions were introduced in Pega 8.5, and the MSOFileTransferButtons control is not compliant with these. The MSOFileTransferButtons control has now been withdrawn. The FilePath Control should be used in conjunction with pxParseExcelFile to upload and parse the Excel along with using the pxGenerateExcelFile activity for download.

docx4j updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After generating a Word document using the pxGenerateWordDocument activity, opening the document resulted in a popup message indicating "Word found unreadable content". This was traced to an issue with docx4j version 8.2.6, and has been resolved by updating docx4j to version 8.3.1 .

Corrected data page value loading
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Values were not loading from a data page in Property. This was traced to a leading "." character in the property name, i.e. ".PropertyName" which prevented the rule being opened from the database due to incorrect property rule keys . This has been resolved by removing the leading dot.
