PerformCriteria contains CurUserHasRequiredSkills 'when' rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
A customer version of the PerformCriteria data transform was generating a validation error due to a qualified statement that resulted in a null result. This has been resolved by updating the PerformCriteria DT to include the CurUserHasRequiredSkills 'when' rule.

Corrected approval step task message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When a case progressed to the approval step, the task name did not properly appear as part of the "Please approve or reject this" message. In another scenario, a portal which supported locale switching was not translating "Please approve or reject this" when the locale was switched, but instead displayed the message in the original language. Investigation traced this to the pzInstructionsForApproval data transform storing the localized field value, causing it to persist inappropriately. This has been resolved.

Removed unexpected validation from Page-Change-Class
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
Validation errors appeared on the review screen when tracer was enabled if there was non-conforming data in the non-expanded elements. PDN help for the activity method Page-Change-Class specifies that the method does not validate property values, but the generated java ends up calling DictionaryImpl.validate() and validates the step page without expanding it. Any invalid data in the non-expanded properties would be ignored. However, activating the tracer expands the page and as a result Page-Change-Class attempts to validate all the properties in the page, resulting in errors appearing when appropriate. In order to handle this scenario, validation has been removed from Page-Change-Class method in order to bring the results into line with the help documentation, and if validation is needed it must be added explicitly.

Improve page sync and locking to avoid ConcurrentModifiedException
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
There was a possibility that data page could be modified simultaneously and generate a ConcurrentModificationException, for example where a background thread is expanding a page to check messages at the same time a user thread is expanding the page to fire declaratives on read-only data page before marking it read only. This has been resolved by synchronizing access to a data page instance whenever there is an attempt to expand it from boundaries of data pages code.

Repaired code generation for Single Page property reference
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
Referencing a Single Page property in a Rule-Utility-Function parameter of type ClipboardPage generated Java that created a Clipboard Property at runtime, resulting in a ClassCastException. The code generation process for this was incorrect, and has been repaired.

Property Reference cache handing modified
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
An issue with the property reference cache growing irrespective of the Cache Pruning threshold was traced to the omission of logic to handle references accessed via entry handles. This logic has been added. In addition, PropertyReferencePoolImpl has been modified with a new prconfig setting "cache/propertyreferencepool/enable" which defaults to true. This can be explicitly set to false to disable the pool.

Improved validation error reporting for duplicate radio buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
The label of the radio buttons which contained a required field were not turning red when a validation error occurred if there were multiple radio buttons in the section configured with the same property name. Even though the other radio buttons were hidden by a visible 'when' condition, the label error was applied to the first instance of the radio button which contained the same name. To resolve this, the rule 'pega_validators.js' has been changed to check for duplicate radio buttons and identify the closest label to the field in the label.

JSON mapping performance enhanced
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
JSON mapping performance has been enhanced with the addition of a native JSON property cache along with the introduction of a DSS to skip all unnecessary intensive checks if the JSON node name is found to be valid. This will be handled through a DSS JSON/useNativeAPI which when set uses adoptJSONObject/adoptJSONArray() as the API for inbound JSON parsing. Please note that if the DSS is set, homogeneous arrays are only supported with valuelist configuration in connectors. Heterogeneous arrays are not supported when DSS is set.
