Handling added for identical property and page names in test case recording
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
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 8.6
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 In addition, the pzGetFBData activity has been modified to ensure these function aliases are upgraded to the most current version available in the system and that assembly of the When rule or AccessWhen rules created in v8.2.5 perform as expected after Revalidate & Save or direct rule save actions performed after upgrade.

Updated TimeZone dropdown control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The RF_Timezonelist control was deprecated in Pega v8.4 and withdrawn in Pega v8.5 and a replacement datapage was provided to give the same list of timezones. 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 datapage.

Removed development test log message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The message "came to my actiovity branchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" appeared multiple times in the log, and was traced to clicking on the refresh button of the Application Quality Dashboard page. This was an oversight log message inadvertently left in place after development work, and has been removed.

Expression Builder updated for special character handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
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.

Logic updated to handle decision trees over 64k
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
An exception was thrown when decision trees reached the 64K size limit. This has been resolved by modifying the logic in the DecisiontableMethodBody Rule-Utility-Function where the split size nPropRowLimit is based on the number of columns.

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.
