Create Work correctly encodes Japanese characters
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When Japanese characters are passed as parameter to Create Work action, the newly created work item was registering cryptic characters instead of the expected Japanese characters. This was traced to a deprecated API, and has been corrected.

"?" character allowed in URLs with get requests
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When specifying an Alternate Domain URL for a link, if the URL contained a GET request followed by parameters ("?get&p1"), the URL was modified by SafeURL to include an "=%26" between the "?" and "get" ("?=%26get&p1") (%26 is url encoding for an ampersand & ). In order to ensure alternate URLs are properly processed when they contain "?", a check has been added.

Improved speed for deleting repeat grid rows with Dynamic Select
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When deleting rows from a repeat grid with Dynamic Select and heavy HTML, deleting the first one was very fast but a delay appeared when there was one row left in the repeat grid. The browser message "Pegacloud not responding due to a long-running script" would also be displayed. This was found to be caused by a list-to-list control function being invoked for each processOnBeforeSubmit call which generated an increased number of input elements in the form. This has been corrected.

Repeating grids enhanced to allow the '&' character as text
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When values in a repeating grid contained the character "&", the ReloadSection activity failed with an illegal argument tracer and no values were passed to a second Repeating Grid Page List. This was traced to '&' being used by the system to perform a split of value string. In order to allow use of the '&' character in the list values field, it will now be encoded so it is passed without evaluation.

Flow Action support tuned for MenuBar keyboard navigation
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Using the' MenuBar' setting to display the flow actions for pyActionArea was not working as expected with keyboard navigation within the "other actions" menu: the Up/Down keys moved the cursor, but pressing the Enter key did not fire any actions because a mouse click was expected. An enhancement has been added to the logic to support an enter key event for menu items. In addition, the "other actions" menu was not accessible with keyboard navigation from the Resolve Flow action. This has been corrected.

Handling added for overriding questions rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After overriding questions rules and then upgrading/validating Question Groups, questions were not shown. It was necessary to manually edit, save, and refresh for the questions to appear, affecting mainly Rule-PegaQ-QuestionGroup rules. This was traced to missing handling for this usecase. The commit was added in Revalidate and Save, which was committing different data because the upgraded data was not copied back to step page being used. Due to this, the commit in BulkValidateSave was overriding the changes done in the pzUpgradeSurveyInstance activity, and the survey upgrade was failing. To support this use, Page-Copy has been added to pzUpgradeSurveyInstance after the pzSaveSurveyInstance call step to copy the updated data to the step page which will later be committed by BulkValidateSave during revalidate and save.

Case link shows in Social messages for the old cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from v7, the case link was not visible for the cases that were created in the old platform version. In Pega 7.1.7, metadata was stored in .pyPrivacyContextor while the later versions are using .pxContextType for Case type to show the related data. To resolve this, new properties have been implemented to hold the Case ID link.

Activity updated for Mobile attachment access
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Preview and download were not working for attachments stored in Pega Cloud Storage repository for mobile devices. Attempting to open an email attachment to preview or download resulted in a console error and the tracer showed the message 'Class pxLinkedRefTo does not exist'. This has been resolved by updating "pzpega_control_attachutil" to use the activity "GetAttachmentReference" for interactions with the attachments from any storage type.
