DSS added to control merge strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The activity page merge option takes merge strategy as input and supports different merge strategy options like 'Replace', 'Update' etc. Previously, V1 DX APIs defaulted to REPLACE as the merge strategy; this has been updated to support both 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE' merge strategies which can be controlled with the new DSS "v1MergeStrategy". The DSS to customize the merge strategy for v2 APIs is 'v2MergeStrategy', which also takes the values 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE', which are for merge strategy '1' and '3' respectively. The default strategy from Pega 8.6 forward is 'UPDATE' and any other value other than the above two values will be considered as 'UPDATE'.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Updated bulk action audit history logic and security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, using the standard bulk action feature did not record an audit history entry for the SLA action on a case. This was traced to changes made around authorization for opening worklists when using pzBulkProcessItem that limited the audit history to reassign, transfer or transfer assignment, and has been resolved by updating the login the Work-pzBulkProcessItem activity. In addition, the Require authentication to run checkbox has been enabled on the Security tab of the activity, and the Allow invocation from browser checkbox has been disabled.

Updated retainLock for DoClose activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After sending an external email notification from a case, attempting to use the "close" button resulted in an access denied error. This was traced to a missed use case for recent security improvements which resulted in not setting the required parameter retainLock for the DoClose activity, and has been resolved.

Error handling updated for Data-Work-Attach-File
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
If a file is uploaded which has the same name as an existing case attachment or if any issue happens during file attachment, the attachment will fail and an error message is displayed with an option to cancel the operation. However, even if the upload was not successful the related Data-WorkAttach-File instance was created and persisted in the Workattach table. Investigation showed this was caused by the process for persisting the Data-WorkAttach-File record occurring prior to the process that returns the errors, and this has been resolved.

Multiple child case assignments open correctly in Ajax container
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After configuring two cases with a parent-child relationship, the child case was configured with a parallel process with two assignments. When trying to open the child case assignments in an Ajax container, only the first assignment would open. Investigation showed this was caused by the "reloadAlways" parameter not being sent to openAssignment due to a custom control being used. To resolve this, the reloadAlways has been added as an argument to the OpenAssignment function call in pyAssignmentsLabel.

Logic added to skip FLAudit class during compliance check
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
An application compliance error was seen related to classes starting with FLAudit, which are created as part of field level audit history for the classgroup validation. This has been resolved by adding an extra condition to the Rule-Obj-Class-.Validate activity to check if inheritance is from "FLAudit-" class, and if so to skip them as their purpose is similar to History- classes which are ignored for the class group validation.

Data- flow actions working in Bulk Process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When trying to render a flow action whose 'applies to' class was inherited from Data-, an error was generated indicating that the flow action could not be found. This was traced to non Work- flow actions not being correctly populated, and was an inadvertent side effect of work done to set class for inheritance if Work- is not present. This has been resolved by updating the pzPreBulkProcessModal activity to set the TempWorkPage class to Work- only if .pyActionName is pyTransferAssignment.
