Updated logging for "Obfuscated URL tampering" errors
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
The error "pegarules.util.URLObfuscation) ERROR - Obfuscated URL tampering - unable to derive cleartext data" was being logged when the "cookie/HttpOnly" parameter was set. This was traced to the unobfuscating of data failing at the server end, and the loggers have been updated to print requestor data for better diagnostics.

Fixed improper ID carryover after reset all loggers
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
When a user reset the logs, the same user ID was then being populated in the log entries of master agent and requestor lock exceptions from that point on even when the exceptions were from other users. This was due to the username not being cleared correctly after the reset all loggers operation is done, and to fix this, the reset all loggers functionality has been changed such that no data from main thread is copied onto the child thread(the dispatcher thread).

Fixed Multiselect grid drag and drop
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
When using MultiSelectList Control, if a value was selected and then 'submit' was used to populate the Grid's data, dragging and dropping the Grid's row to some other workbasket did not work. This happened because the clipboard calls the remove property with a symbolic delete when doing a drag and drop. While processing this delete, if the mode of property was unknown the system was unable to look up the property definition in the dictionary, and an exception occurred. To fix this, handling has been added to lookup the definition of the property if it is unknown before removing it.

Updated survey refresh API for switching radio buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After configuring a picklist with multiple options in a survey framework, it was not possible to select a radio button when toggling between radio buttons on the UI. Investigation showed the values of the radio buttons were not published to Clipboard, causing pyAnswer to be blank. After detaching the webwb_pzsurvey_ui_userscript.js the value was posted correctly and the visible WHEN was working as expected. This has been resolved by updating pzsurvey_ui_userscript to add a timeout on the refresh API call when switching between radio button options.

Improved Page compare for page groups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Field level auditing on embedded properties sporadically did not report the "old" value when a property was modified even though the page was listed as "Modified". This has been resolved by adding logic to the pxComparePages algorithm to treat Lists and Groups differently. Now Page and Value Groups will use pxSubscript as the primary way to detect add and deletes.

Document generation new line formatting made consistent
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The GenerateWordDocument API and Generate Document shape were not adding new line to a Word document even when Text Area format was used. This was traced to a difference in document generation which varied between adding \n and adding \r\n for new line, causing inconsistent behavior, and has been resolved.

Special character handling updated for export MapValue to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The Excel download was failing when the Row/Column definition or column configuration of a map value contained an equals sign (=) or < > brackets inside quotation marks. This has been resolved by adding an update that will evaluate the comparator value at the start of the row condition value, and row condition value and row condition operator will be set separately.

Handling updated for switching between concrete and abstract class types
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After configuring a non-templatized table with source as page list, with the page list property sourced to abstract class, a runtime exception was seen when loading the table that indicated "database.BadInputException: Cannot open or save instances of class Data-Orders-OrderDetails--the class might be abstract, or it might have no defined keys, or it might descend from Code-". When a class is created and saved as concrete, there is a checkbox "Automatically generate a unique ID for records of this type" which when checked will set pyAutogeneratedKey to false on the clipboard. If the Class is then later changed to abstract without unchecking the checkbox first, then the BadInputException error will manifest on the table at runtime. Investigation of the Edit Class ruleform found some scenarios where clipboard properties which have previously been set while Class type dropdown is set to Concrete can persist and cause the BadInputException seen when the class is switched to Abstract. This has been resolved.
