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.

Missing hyphen auto-added to base class by import wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When running the Connector & Metadata wizard to import the XSD file, entering the base class name without a dash created classes and properties all concatenated with the class name. However entering a dash at the end of the base class name created properties separated with the dash from the class names. This was an error in the wizard - it is no longer mandatory to end the abstract class with a dash, and the code has been updated to correctly append the hyphen at the end of baseclass if one doesn't exist.

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.

Stream XML generation and runtime handling enhanced for optional nodes in schema
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a stream rule was executed using connect-SOAP and blank data was passed from the UI, a tag corresponding to the XML element marked as optional was being generated. This resulted in those optional properties being unexpectedly created in source systems. To change this, the generation of the Stream XML rule has been enhanced such that at runtime it ignores optional nodes/attributes mapped to properties which do not exist or which have an empty value. NOTE: this new behavior in Stream XML rule generation is effective only with the below DSS configuration (to avoid backward compatibility issues ): Owning Ruleset : Pega-IntegrationEngine Purpose : StreamXML/DetectEmptyProperties Value : true

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.
