Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.

Updated AttachmentPreview control for Account Manager Access Group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Account Manager Access group as the default and only access group on a profile, attempting to render a PDF on the click of a link did not work as expected. The render-on-click worked as expected when logged in as the Author and the application was switched to Account Manager. This has been resolved by registering the activity pzAppStorageOkToAttachFile in the pzAttachmentPreview control.

Clipboard page handling updated for encrypted values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When retrieving data that contained encrypted properties, the clipboard page either did not load, or if it did load the encrypted properties were not listed on the clipboard. This was traced to use of a read only data page, and has been resolved by updating pzRemovePWD with handling for read only pages.

Security updated for @baseclass
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, searching for a baseclass 'when' rule returned no results. Listing the rules under baseclass in App Explorer resulted in the error "Applies To: The Class with key value(s) %40baseclass does not exist". This was an unintended side effect of security updates, and has been resolved by creating an exception path for "@baseclass".

GetFunctionsForLibrary retrieves 10,000 rows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.

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".
