DIrty check flag triggered by adding columns and filters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
If a report was edited and closed without saving, the dirty check worked as expected. However, if new columns or filters were added and the report closed without saving, the dirty check did not appear. This has been resolved by updating the check logic.

Logic added for client-side Somaria decoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When Somaria (an Advanced Data Visualization control) was used with Predictor Performance, the special characters were displayed as ASCII values instead of the actual values in the label. This was traced to Somaria encoding special characters of the visualization data into HTML entities on the server in order to protect against cross-site scripting attacks, but these entities were not being decoded on the client side. To resolve this, logic has been added to decode HTML entities in Somaria data on the client.

DSS added to allow disabling Excel cell export security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
In order to avoid calculation injection during Export to Excel, an apostrophe character was added to the cell on export to close a vulnerability. However, sites using an external tool to consume the Excel document needed a workaround for this security feature. The resolution for this issue adds a DSS setting "TurnOffSecurityForExportToExcel" which can now be used to turn on/off the security feature that adds char " ' " in front of the cell value. Further refinements to this work will be included in a future release.

ReportBrowser script updated to ensure older version refreshes on creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When using the old version of the Report Browser, the count at the report category did not update after being saved into a category until logout and login back to the portal. This was a missed use case for the old browser during updates to the UIKit and has been resolved by including the reportbrowser script in the header section pyCMReportBrowserHeader to ensure a refresh.

Ad hoc reports saved successfully in private categories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
After upgrade, an error was seen when attempting to save an ad hoc report in a private category. Saving in a public category worked as expected. This was traced to the Rule-Shortcut.Validate activity, which attempted to use the Rule-Shortcut's RuleSet to find the Rule-Category. To resolve the saving issue, the Rule-Shortcut.Validate activity has been updated to do an Obj-Open on the Category instead.

Orphaned CSS reference removed from DisplayReport harness
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
An intermittent invalid CSS error was appearing in the DisplayReport harness when an operation resulted in the regeneration of the harness content. This was traced to a reference to the workform_pyReportingSkin CSS, which was used in old reporting features and is not in use anymore. The reference has been removed to resolve this issue.

Corrected reference exception for filter on a grid sourced from a parameterized report definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
An Invalid Reference Exception was thrown after attempting to apply a filter on a grid sourced from a parameterized report definition. This was traced to work done to allow cross-scripting filters to allow filters to contain special characters, and has been resolved.

Column Filter working with class join
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
When a class join was configured in the report definition and the report was edited to include new columns from the joined class, a "Filter condition invalid" error appeared in the tracer after adding a filter condition to a new column. This was only observed when the property added was a decimal property, and did not happen for a text property. The filter worked as expected after re-saving the property in the report definition in Designer Studio. This was traced to the data type being passed as "DECIMAL" for decimal fields, which did not match the logic used to set the filter value, and has been resolved.
