Detection added for custom work history tables
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In order to fully embrace mobile capabilities, columns were added to the work history tables to allow actions to be tracked as a geographical map where each history event is a numbered locale indicator on a map instead of a row of entries. From lat/long it is also possible to call a Google service and get the street address as well. However, this functionality caused some issues post-migration with if there were customized pc_history_work tables mapped to custom classes. To remedy this, a check has been added to only query for pxlatitude/pxlongitude if columns are exposed and shown, and that will detect if the columns aren't present.

Access Role Editor link errors fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When using IE11 or Google Chrome, clicking on the hyperlink to a privilege associated with a class in Access Role Editor created issues that prevented changes from being made or saved. In some cases, after clicking 'Remove Checked' in the popup dialog, the developer portal loaded in the popup. This was caused by the forms-based role selection not being converted for cross-browser support, and has been fixed.

Added localization formatting for date values (YYYY-MM-DD)
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In Sweden, dates are given with a hyphen "-" and not slash "/" as the date separator as per ISO-8601. The SV localization has been changed to follow this style.

Enhanced task queue handling for custom applications
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In some situations, a custom agent would periodically fall over when processing a large backlog of queued items. This was caused by an exception thrown when placing a task in the queue when it is already present. The system has been updated to better handle this situation and allow agents to continue to execute with the present schedule when a duplicate task is found.

Updated survey refresh API for switching radio buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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.

Added handling for FieldValue issue during Excel export
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, the export to Excel function for business-rules kept and maintained via Decision-Tables created a file that Excel could not open. This was traced to a function call in the Results tab and the Return Actions in the decision table which caused an issue with the generated Excel to be used for editing. To resolve this, any allowed values will have quotation marks removed before the vales are passed to the export.

Document generation new line formatting made consistent
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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.

Added logic to handle manual validate rule creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Manually creating a Validate rule with conditions and then opening the configure view with conditions caused the validation rule to be removed from the flow action rule along with the validation conditions in the validation rule referred in flowAction rule. This has been resolved by updating the logic in the Condition Builder to handle this use case.
