Check added for readonly header control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After configuring an optimized grid and adding a checkbox control in the header with editable options, when the control in corresponding column was configured as Auto, the checkbox in the header was rendered as read-only. When the control in the corresponding column was configured as "Read-only always" or displayText control was used, the checkbox was rendered as editable control.

Repaired shortcut key use in Flow Action default buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the shortcuts configured on flow action buttons stopped working. The previous version displayed the labels "Save" and "Cancel" on the portal and it was possible to use hotkeys to press the button. The updated system displayed "Sa&ve" and "Cance&l" and the shortcut did not work. This was traced to the encoding performed by the CrossScriptingFilter API, and has been resolved by ensuring the correct text value is retained and displayed for use with the hotkeys.

Accessibility improved for blank field errors in non-auto generated controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using non-auto generated controls, leaving an edit field blank causes an error message informing that the value cannot be blank. An accessibility issue was seen where this error text was not part of the field label or description, preventing it from being announced by screen readers (NVDA or JAWS) when focus is on the field. This has been corrected by adding aria-describedby in non-template textarea.
