Database primary keys generated as NONCLUSTERED for imports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When a primary key was defined for a table and the table was exported and then imported, the primary key was generated as CLUSTERED. This resulted in an MS SQL Cluster Index violation because all Pega-shipped tables generated during installs/upgrades have a PK constraint index with NONCLUSTERED index type as it allows for a longer key. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating the system such that when importing with MS SQL database, the primary key index is made NONCLUSTERED all the time so it will be consistent with the base platform.

Pega Catalog custom upload control modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Attempting to upload a catalog.zip file caused the system to hang and thread dumps were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to the custom control used to upload the catalog, which was posting the entire content in form data rather than sending a multi-part request. The control contained both legacy code which used form.submit() and encoding along with new code that used SafeURL and sent an async request. With this, encoding could not be set to multi-part in case of an AJAX request. To resolve this, the catalog upload control has been modified to use the appropriate legacy code that performs form.submit() and sets the encoding properly.

Filter considers all instances pages during deployment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
During package deployment, attempting to use Filter to skip some of the instances only displayed the result of the current active page instead of all pages. This was an unintended consequence of previous work, and has been resolved by adding the logic to strip quotes in the value and adding the "Pagination activity manages filtering" checkbox by default.

Kerberos handling updated for database remap
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.4, using Kerberos authentication was failing during the remap task. Investigation showed that null username and password values were being passed to SchemaAssignmentUtility along with the flags as arguments, causing the utility to misinterpret the arguments. As arguments should be populated only when flags and values are available and not null, an update has been made which will set the username and password flags only if they are not null in the Remap database tables target.

SurveyPage loads when ruleset is locked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When the ruleset containing the survey rules was locked D_pzSurveyPage did not load and errors were generated. Investigation showed that if the flow was in a locked version, the PopulateShapeNodesFromFlowData activity did not call EvaluateConnectorState, causing the mapping of the transitions for connectors to fail in the activity MapBranchShapeConnectors. This has been resolved.

Mobile app language remains consistent after data sync
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When using a Field Service Mobile App where the locale of all workers was set to nl_NL, the UI was intermittently flipping from NL to EN and and back again. This was traced to the locale of the requestor (field worker) being lost during synchronization of the mobile app data to the server, causing the UI to fall back to the default value of EN. This has been resolved by ensuring the requestor always uses the chosen locale for the operator.

Hidden Question pages and answers will be saved to database
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
After a question page was shown and some values were entered, going back to the question and reverting an option caused the question page to not be visible, but the answer values persisted in the clipboard and were eventually saved into the database. This was a missed use case for Question page smart shapes, and has been resolved by updating the pzSetQuestionPageParams data transform so that whenever a question page is evaluated to either to show/hide, when the question page visibility is set to false and the pyClearAnswerValuesWhenQPHidden 'when' rule is overridden, the corresponding values will be wiped from the clipboard and only the required values will be saved to the database. However, please note this is not supported for branching logic and visibility conditions should be used instead.
