Added handling to force text area maxlength in Microsoft Edge
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When using the Microsoft Edge browser, it was possible to continue entering characters in excess of the value set for the 'max characters' property. Investigation showed that the Microsoft Edge browser does not honor the maxlength attribute on text area; to resolve this, logic has been added to restrict the user from entering extra characters above the max limit.

Focus persists for embedded Tab Group layout with section refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When a Tab Group Layout was configured with multiple sections using multiple input elements including one with a 'Refresh this section' action, using the Tab key to reach the input element, make a change, and hit Tab again caused the focus to reset to the top input element. This has been corrected.

Updated handling for checkboxes configured in the header
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
After configuring multiple checkboxes where each checkbox had a different property and different DT as action set and then using them as a single column header in the table, the on-change of any one checkbox caused all of the checkboxes to be checked or unchecked in the column header. This was caused by the pega.ui.grid.prototype.checkAllIfInHeader, which selects or unselects all checkboxes present in table (header +. body) based on checkbox status in header. However, the header row should not be part of the iterator during this function, and the necessary update has been made.

Resolved "maximum limit for pending changes" error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When attempting to create a work object in a custom way using doCreateNewCase from the Smart investigate layer by using the RMButtonWithoughtWorkCaseNGP section, a popup showed the error “You have reached maximum limit for pending changes. Please commit/cancel one or more changes to continue.” The error did not occur when creating the case using the out-of-the-box Create New Work action. This was traced to the custom configuration creating work object threads that were not destroyed after the work item is closed. To resolve this, handling has been updated for passing dynamiccontainerID and contentID parameters for OpenWorkByURL case. Note that the pzUpdateActionInfo activity must be called in any custom activity before the actual activity is invoked.

Support added for resuming scenario test recording
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When running an automation recording, a refresh of the harness was hiding the recording panel. When it was reopened, the panel was not responsive but the recording process was still running. This was traced to a scenario where the portal harness had a second harness running on it (such as a normal case worker would have) and the "Render As Single Page" was not checked: clicking a button with an action like "create new work" caused the whole harness (top) to be refreshed, resulting in the panel issues. To resolve this an enhancement has been added which will maintain the Scenario test recording when browser refresh happens, and recording can be restarted by clicking the toolbar option.

Check added to only show active popover
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
After selecting the autocomplete value and going to calendar field to select the date value, scrolling on the calendar field caused the calendar popup to reappear but it was not possible to select a date value.This was traced to the DOM using _popOversContainer ID for both the fields, autocomplete and date calendar. Removing the autocomplete caused the behavior to work as expected. To resolve this, the isActive() check in popover.js has been modified to reposition and show a popup only when it is active.

Check for mobile added to Pega Client for Windows time control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When attempting to enter time using the out of the box time control in Pega Windows Client application, the control became stuck and continued to show on the UI even when screens were progressed. If the control was marked as a required field, this was a blocker. This was due to the 'validation_validateFromUIEvent' overlay invoking the 'pega.util.Event.getEvent()' function: this function was trying to get the events by traversing all the way to the event initialization, but the process was timing out on mobile/touchable devices and returning the parent event as undefined. Because 'pega.util.Event.getEvent()' was undefined, the validation_validateFromUIEvent caused js errors. To resolve this, a check for mobile has been added to the validation.

Refresh handling added for cancel 'add item' while offline
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When using iPad and iPhone offline, filling in one required field, hitting submit (click action: 'Add item') without filling in a second required field, and then hitting cancel resulted in a blank record being added. Clicking the cancel button first without clicking submit before did not add the item. This was traced to the underlying repeating dynamic layer being refreshed during the submit and adding the record, and has been resolved by adding a refresh for the cancel button process as well.
