Resolved authorization request errors on mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
After upgrading and rebuilding the APK with the HC Client Version – 7.41.8-SNAPSHOT, numerous "PYREDIRECTAUTHORIZATIONREQUEST" alerts during mobile interactions caused system performance issues. This was traced to a change in the handling for OAuth2 tokens and related to missing pyClientID column in the database table which forced the system to read all records from the table, and has been resolved.

Logic updated for deepMergeObj API
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
Issues with the embedded page values being removed when navigating from a flow action and inconsistent localization of labels and captions in a mobile app were traced to the deepMergeObj API; the logic for the API has been revised to ensure the pxObjClass property is not removed from embedded pages during the doSave function.

Added handling for mobile SharePoint attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
When an application was using SharePoint to store the attachments, adding an attachment in an offline-enabled mobile app and then synching resulted in the mobile app crashing if the user re-logged in and launched the same work object. This was due to the attachment handling. Attachments are downloaded during synchronization and they are base64 encoded: when a mobile phone processes the synchronization response, it decodes the base64 encoded attachment and saves the data in internal storage. In this scenario, attachments retrieved from SharePoint (REST Service) use a base64 conditional encoding that is different than in case Repositories or Pega Database storage. To resolve this, a check has been added to determine whether the base64 text contains newline characters, and if so the text is merged into one line.

Enhancement added to expose BrowserAttachmentTypeTable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
By default, the inline view of PDF files appears with the thread name visible. An enhancement has been made to expose pzBrowserAttachmentTypeTable as a py rule: when the DT is overridden such that return is false for PDF, the inline view is not displayed but instead the PDF is downloaded when clicked.

pxGenerateExcelFile updated for handling blank dates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When using a custom template for exporting to Excel, blank DateTime property column values defaulted to the current date. To resolve this, the pxGenerateExcelFile activity has been updated to ensure that an empty date will be exported as blank and that given dates will appear in the correct datetime format.

pxParseExcelFile activity will now parse multiple sheets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When trying to use the activity pxParseExcelFile on an Excel file containing three sheets where each sheet had a different pagelist, the properties mentioned in sheet 1 were populated on upload but the remaining sheets only showed the error message "Could not get clipboard property for reference Work Queues.". This was caused by an error in Row index handling for the additional sheets, and has been resolved by updating the logic to populate the data in the clipboard. Additional issues for this issue in 8.4 to fix issues like formulae not getting evaluated and $ not parsed: 501592, 501383

Added handling for bulleted text insert triggering audit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When a bulleted text (copied from an email or rich text ) was used in the text area property, the audit considered it as a change even when there was no change. This was tracked to the field value 'pyHistoryMemo • ChangeTrack_Add' in @baseclass which is being used to get the localized value for audit memo: the field value accepts only 2 parameters, but the inserted text area input contained the '\t' that is used for parameter translation. To resolve this, the system will call the addMemoForSecurityChangeTracking utility method to replace all \t's present in both the Current Value and Previous value with 'empty' such that no '\t' characters are available in either of the string parameters.

WorkBasketGadget control updated for improved backwards compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, the WorkBasketGadget Control was not retrieving the work queues. This was traced to a backwards compatibility issue introduced when greater security was put in place. The control WorkBasketGadget contains a call to pzEncryptURLActionString that was introduced in 8.x versions of the platform to encrypt URLs to avoid hijacking. The content of the URL relies on the pxRequestor.pxWorkGroup property, which is resolved using pega:reference tags. This approach was working in versions below 8.x, but these tags were not resolved at runtime. To correct this, requestorWorkGroup will be resolved as string and passed as a parameter instead of using pega:reference tags.

Dynamic RTE support added to Word document generation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Pega document generation from a Word template was not properly replacing field codes in the document header or footer and failed to render images embedded in rich text fields. An enhancement has now been added to pzGenerateDocument which will support dynamic content from RTE.
