Handling added for identical property and page names in test case recording
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When trying to record a test case, the error "WrongModeException: The property PostProsSnapOfWorkpage.Name was of mode String while com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.clipboard.ClipboardPropertyImpl.getPageValue() was expecting Page mode" was generated. This was an edge case caused by property and page names being the same on the "PostProsSanpOfWorkPage" page, and has been resolved by accessing the page with the full path so it has the proper prefix.

Upgrade compatibility enhanced for Pega-ConditionBuilder ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
In Pega v8.2.5, the Pega-ConditionBuilder ruleset was added as part of the PegaMarketing application. When these enhancements were promoted to a platform ruleset beginning with Pega v8.4, the function names were modified with PZ/PX prefixes due to the corresponding validation standards in place for rules created in platform rulesets. Unfortunately, this introduced an upgrade impact. Due to the function name change, strategies failed when attempting to evaluate the functions configured in the filter component. Eg: @string.ContainsIgnoreCase function is part of the Pega-ConditionBuilder ruleset, which was not available. To resolve this, the following function aliases have been created in this release:ContainsIgnoreCase StartsWithIgnoreCase EndsWithIgnoreCase CompareDateTimeToSymbolicDate

Updated Time Zone dropdown control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The RF_Timezonelist control was deprecated in Pega v8.4 and withdrawn in Pega v8.5 and a replacement datapage was provided to give the same list of time zones. Unfortunately, some references were not corrected to point to the replacement, causing an issue with custom functions that were attempting to set the time zone on an OperatorID calendar instance in order to calculate goal and deadline properties before setting the SLA. The work has been reviewed and updated to ensure all referencing rules are now correctly replacing the RF_Timezonelist with a dropdown sourcing the data page.

Exported Excel from Decision Table wraps correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, entries were displayed in a single line on exporting a decision table to Excel despite WrapText cell formatting being set. This was traced to the WrapText cell formatting set under the UpdateGridCells() function being overridden inside an addDataFormat() function callas part of DecisionTableWorkBookConverter.java. This has been resolved by adding the new function "setWorkAreaCellStyles" and calling it after generateWorkbook() function call of super class (AbstractWorkBookConverter.java).

Updated UpdateDateTime handling for branch merge SaveAs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After Pega API's standard branch/merge service was consumed, the service was not returning response as expected due to the system encountering listing conflicts on the branch merge. The error "a rule in lower version has been updated more recently than when the checkout was created" was generated. This has been resolved by updating the Record API (pxUpdateRecord / pxCheckIfStale) to handle setting pxMergedSynchronized property to the pxUpdateDateTime of the base rule instance when doing a Save As into a branch ruleset from a non-branch ruleset / non personal ruleset. Please note - this fix is only applicable to Record API SaveAs, and will not work if customized logic is used to perform the SaveAs.
