Dynamic container enhanced for harness sections
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In some situations, tab visibility conditions were not functioning as expected. For example, in a portal with a harness that has 2 sections, the click of an enable/disable button in the top section was configured to refresh the bottom section as well as call an activity. The bottom section had a tab layout containing harness rules with conditions specified for the tab visibility based on the above "Enable/Disable" button. For the above features, the data model got created when the Dynamic Container was being rendered for the portal's harness, and the data model was updated with the dynamic tabs' meta data. However, the data model was not being created while rendering the harness, and the lower section did not confirm to expectations. To resolve this, the code has been updated to handle the section refresh which has a Dynamic Container.

Resolved checkout conflicts with discarded rule edits
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After a private edit of a work flow rule in the tenant layer, discarding that rule and then trying to do another Private Edit on the same rule generated the error "Status: **Check out failed. A checked out version with the same keys already exists. Please check-in that record first. This was traced to an issue with the clipboard retaining the discarded rule, and has been corrected.

Updated sorting and filtering icons to work with JAWS
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
As filtering and sorting did not use labels, JAWS was not announcing icon names without labels. This resulted in JAWS not announcing the filter list, that a column was sortable, the presence of a filter icon, or whether a column was sorted ascending or descending. This was due to the "ARIA" attributes not being generated without PegaWAI ruleset1, and the system has been updated to enhance the accessibility.

Apostrophe no longer causes truncated values in MutliSelectList controls
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If an option in a MultiSelectList control contained an apostrophe, the option would be truncated at the apostrophe when the work item was saved. This meant that when the item was reopened, the selected value was not highlighted in control. This was caused by the system building the MultiSelectList control with the standard HTML Select tag and its options elements, which do not encode the special characters like apostrophe while preparing the multi select list control with the values, leaving the browser to take the option value as' till apostrophe' instead of the whole value. To correct this, the value is now encoded using the crossScriptingFilter String API.

Menu rendering corrected for Attachment Menu controls when using JAWS
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, the 'add menu' button in the Attachment Menu controls did not respond to the spacebar or enter key if JAWS was active. This was due to a rendering issue with the work flow menu options and has been resolved.

Added logic to more precisely determine class of referred properties within repeating grids
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In some work flow scenarios with referring properties within repeating grids, Work Class properties were being returned when Collateral Data Class properties were expected. This was caused by an incomplete reference call within the grid, and the logic has been updated to set the class of a grid on the server to call a new function that parses the property given as a source and determines what its class is.
