FetchApplicationLogo modified to Filter by rule resolution
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
It was observed that the Report Definition rule "pzFetchApplicationLogo", referenced by Activity rule "pzLoadApplicationLogo", always returned the older version of the Binary File "webwb • pyapp-logo • svg" because it had been set to retrieve a maximum of one record and in this case the results were sorted in an order where the oldest record was at the top. As the Report Definition did not indicate any sorting, most DBMS were returning the results in no particular or predictable order. To resolve this, "Filter by rule resolution" has now been enabled for RD pzFetchApplicationLogo.

Stale WorkSearchPreference data cleared when switching apps
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
The D_pyWorkSearchPreferences data page data was not refreshing while switching between apps, causing stale data to be populated under the case search dropdown for all the applications after switching the application from one to another. This has been resolved by removing the D_pyWorkSearchPreferences data page as part of pzProcessApplicationSwitch.

TemplateButton field correctly set read-only
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When a control was added to a section using the DX API, a pyTemplateButton field was added to the XML definition of the section with read-only set to 'false'. This has been corrected so the pyTemplate Button field does not allow input.

Completed onChange will reset FileInput value to null
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When attaching a file using the "Select File" button, it was not possible to attach the same file after deleting it. Re-attaching the file worked as expected when using Drag and Drop. Investigation showed that the onchange event occurred only when the value of an element was changed, so in this case trying to attach the same file did not change the value of the element and did not fire the onchange. To resolve this, the value of FileInput in pzMultiFilePath Control will be set to null at the end of the onChange event so that an onChange event will be triggered next time even if the same file is added.

Enhanced error handling for WebSphere class conflicts
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
An error caused by a class conflict issue in WebSphere was being generated when exporting Process Flow as XPDL. In order to clarify the limitations in this use, changes have been made to the XSLTRANSLATE Activity to add an extra catch that handles any style sheet errors explicitly and provides an informative error message.

Create New Work functionality smoothed for flows across multiple windows
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The Create New Work functionality in IAC was intermittently rendering incorrect data when opening a workflow in multiple windows. This was found to be a problem with PostDataId generated duplicate IDs for the different requests and has been changed to generate unique IDs.

MaxLength enforced for attached notes in properties
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If a MaxLength was given in the Advance tab for a pynote property from data-workattach-note class, it was still possible for attachments to exceed the MaxLength with no error generated. This was caused by a missing step, and the system will now check if there are any page set messages on Note page before saving.

Updated PDF conversion for latest versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using the Out-Of-The-Box Flow Action called "ConvertAttachmentToPDF", no error was generated at runtime but the new file attached to the case was not correctly converted. The root cause was the HTML rule called "ActionConvertAttachmentToPDF" which contained JavaScript code that was not fully compatible with the newest releases of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. This has been changed.

To remedy this, the landmark menu has been provided with a search field to quickly navigate to search field in Case Manager portal in accessibility mode. A future enhancement is planned for adding ARIA roles to auto generated sections.

Updated flow default for SAE-I course
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The PRPC: System Architect Essentials I training course shows how to create draft process outlines. An SAE exercise where Stage "Decision" has steps "Background Check" and "Assess Candidate" which run in parallel was not working as expected. The first step is an assignment, and the second is a multi-step process with a decision shape which points to a decision tree. If that decision shape referenced an undefined decision record, the process would not execute and there was no way to proceed with the case. This was traced to the DRAFTMODECHOICE flow rule in which "Process commander internal flow" was checked by default. This was not the preferred work flow behavior, and the default is now to leave "Process Commander Internal Flow" unchecked so the flow is not marked as internal. In addition, the instructions for DraftModeChoice assignment were modified to reflect this change.
