Field Level Audit updated to handle hierarchical properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 savedFL

Security updated to allow Access group switching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a member of two different access groups attempted to switch from one group to another, an "access denied" message occurred. This was traced to the use of BAC, and has been resolved by updating the pzProcessApplicationSwitch activity to use the pzEncryptURLActionString function to register the request.

Column width adjusted for Survey simple question text area
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6

Cleaned up references to deprecated property type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.

Updated FieldLevelAuditing logic for page comparison
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Optimistic locking was resulting in orphan assignments and the error "Error: Flow Not At Task, Error: Flow Removed". In addition, Get Next Work was causing duplicate Field Level Auditing records. This was traced to a missed use case in the logic used in pxFieldLevelAuditing where previousPage and PrimaryPage are compared to see whether they are equal or not, and has been resolved by adding one more condition to mark previousPage as null when the update date time or commit date time are not updated as part of processing.

Handling added for designtime page used in runtime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After creating a survey with branch Create survey cases routed to different actors, some cases missed the assignments and were left idle with no access to progress. Survey cases (with branches) having the 'when' conditions in flow connectors experienced this intermittently in production. This was traced to the use of D_pzSurveyPage data page called from the ProcessUpdate data transform while creating the survey: this data page is for design time and should not be used at runtime as it requires design time pages like CaseTypePage which will not be available at runtime. To resolve this issue for runtime, in Step 3 of pzGetAllConnectors, pyClassName will be copied from the step page and set for pzGetConnectorsForDecision.

ManageRecentContent tab icons updated for accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The PegaSocial-Document "Manage Content" flow action (Work-.pzManageRecentContent) shows a tabbed layout with images and labels for "Rich Text", "Local File", "Add Existing" and "URL". These are displayed via the pyEnterCaseDetails section rule. In order to meet accessibility standards, the underlying PNG files (pyreferexistingdocument.png, pyaddurl.png, pyrichtextdocument.png, pyuploadadddocument.png) have been updated to meet the necessary 3:1 contrast ratios.

Find by ID functionality repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the Find by ID Functionality was not working as expected. This was an unintended side effect of work done around the inheritance of default values when the portal pyPortal.pyDesktopType was set to Composite, and has been resolved by modifying the previous work to move the check to verify if the pxCurrentWorkPool== "" to a later step.
