Work object status correctly set to Resolved after refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using the Refresh option from the Other Actions menu before submitting the flow action, the work object status was not updating to Resolved-Completed. Investigation showed that when performing the Refresh action, the RefreshOnConflicts activity created a Clipboard page named LatestWorkPage with a copy of the work object. This page was not removed after use, causing the Resolved-Completed status to be set on LatestWorkPage instead of pyWorkPage. To resolve this, a step has been added to RefreshOnConflicts to remove LatestWorkPage.

Editing Approval flowshape retains decision tree
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Editing the Approval flowshape caused the decision tree to become blank when selecting 'Use Business logic' in the dropdown for "Route to dropdown". This was traced to a missed use case for earlier work done on enhancements for email approver shapes regarding retaining previous values while switching back to using the business logic option, and has been resolved.

RefreshFor correctly returns validation messages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, the PUT method on /api/v1/assignments/{ID}/actions/{actionID}/refresh?refreshFor was not returning validation messages on the child level. This was an unintended consequence of refactoring work done on pzApiCreateJsonForField around the default value calculation, and has been resolved. In addition, an issue with read-only text controls not being localized has been corrected.

Updated timestamp handling for duplicate key issue with PyCompleteAutomation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Occasionally a robot failed to complete a case due to a duplicate key exception. This was an issue with the History record creation due to duplicate key erlated to the timestamp, and has been resolved by updating the timestamp handling so that the REST API will use 'getCurrentTimeStampUnique' and for other cases 'pxGetCurrentTimeStampThreadUnique' will be used.

Upload with "Select File" works in Microsoft Internet Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using Microsoft Internet Explorer, uploading a document was failing on the first try when using the "Select File" button. The second attempt worked as expected. This was an unintended consequence of work done to enable attaching the same file after deleting it, and was related to Internet Explorer calling an "onChange" which caused the "pzAttachFileDDFileList" section which is used to display the attachments uploaded to not be properly refreshed. This has been resolved by updating the pzMultiFilePath control handling of the success and failure of the upload function call.

Deployment Manager rollback works for directed inheritance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Rollback was not working correctly in Deployment Manager for history classes using directed inheritance. This was traced to a redundant check in AbstractHistoryPageKeeper that enforced the history pages pattern inherited from one of the base history classes, and this has now been removed.

Improved handling to ensure circumstanced rules skim is complete
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After performing a major rule skim, it was noticed that some of the circumstanced rules were not carried over to the higher version. The data was restored and a second skim was attempted. Once again, not all of the circumstanced rules were carried over; however, the results were different than in skim 1. This issue was traced to the circumstanced rule and base rule having the same pxCreateDateTime because they were processed with in a millisecond span. To resolve this, a 1ms explicit sleep has been added before processing each record.

Changelog cleanup added for de-optimized properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Unwanted optimization was automatically added to properties for the Application-Work-Casetype class created using the wizard in the App Studio. Attempts to remove the optimization did not work: the property advance tab was showing the optimized classes details even after deleting and recreating the property. When a property is optimized the system adds entries to pr_changelog for the list of classes it has optimized. When the property was deleted, the pr_changelog was not cleared. This was a missed usecase, and has been resolved by overriding the Cleanup activity at Rule-Obj-Property class to delete the pr_changelog entry associated with that if it is present.
