DSS added to control merge strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The activity page merge option takes merge strategy as input and supports different merge strategy options like 'Replace', 'Update' etc. Previously, V1 DX APIs defaulted to REPLACE as the merge strategy; this has been updated to support both 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE' merge strategies which can be controlled with the new DSS "v1MergeStrategy". The DSS to customize the merge strategy for v2 APIs is 'v2MergeStrategy', which also takes the values 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE', which are for merge strategy '1' and '3' respectively. The default strategy from Pega 8.6 forward is 'UPDATE' and any other value other than the above two values will be considered as 'UPDATE'.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Updated bulk action audit history logic and security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, using the standard bulk action feature did not record an audit history entry for the SLA action on a case. This was traced to changes made around authorization for opening worklists when using pzBulkProcessItem that limited the audit history to reassign, transfer or transfer assignment, and has been resolved by updating the login the Work-pzBulkProcessItem activity. In addition, the Require authentication to run checkbox has been enabled on the Security tab of the activity, and the Allow invocation from browser checkbox has been disabled.

Query split added to handle Oracle expressions limit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The PXCHECKFLOWDEPENDENCIES activity was throwing the Oracle error message "ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000" when a case had a very large number of sub-cases, causing a failure in trying to submit additional child cases which sent them into the broken process. This has been resolved by updating the pxCheckFlowDependencies rule to break down the query parameter into batches of 999 so they can be handled by Oracle.

Added handling to find the workparty for FixCorrespondence
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Using a Send Email smart shape and triggering email by passing the target email ID instead of the workparty role triggered the email as expected, but if a fix correspondence flow was initiated due to some error during the transaction, it was not possible to resubmit the fix flow action. Investigation showed that this was due to the fix correspondence flow check using the party role, which had not been passed. This has been resolved by updating the corrUpdate and createAndProcessCorr activities to copy the pyCorrPage from NotifyOp which contains the getgetEmailSenderInfo and use it to set pyCorrPage.pyStreamType.

Field Level Audit updated to handle hierarchical properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Field Audit was not working for the first change of the data selected/provided for a field. The audit was only reflected after the second change was made. When the property involved a series of hierarchies, for example pageprop.pagelist(1).pageprop, the FLA objects will initially use deferred saves and the generated pzinskeys will be added to a savedFLAMap object. However, when the last pageprop was not eligible to save, all the deferred saves of earlier records were cancelled but the inskeys were not removed from the savedFLAMap object. Because of this, the parent FLA records were assumed to have been saved already when those saves were actually deferred. This was a missed use case for hierarchical properties, and has been resolved by adding an update to remove the inskeys from the savedFLAMap object so that in the subsequent property change the audit's FLA records for the parent properties (pageprop.pagelist(1)) will be saved again.

Updated error handling in AddAttachmentFromMail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Attachments links were still showing in case attachments even if the files were not uploaded to the repository. This was traced to the system not skipping code related to attaching files when there were errors on the attachment page, and has been resolved by updating AddAttachmentFromMail to perform this skip.

Cleaned up references to deprecated property type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
While using the Pega API to update a case from one application to another, an error was generated indicating the system was unable to find a property definition of “caseTypeClass” in pyAddableWorkList of the workpage. All properties in the clipboard pages of the work page are validated during this update: in this case, the check was for the caseTypeClass property, which is no longer used but which was on the clipboard page. To resolve this error, all remaining references to property casetypeclass have been removed.
