Enhanced discrimination for tasks in MyPega spaces
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using My Pega for spaces and tasks, using drag and drop to move many cases around quickly resulted in tasks intermittently ending up in a state where they could not be updated further and became unusable. Analysis showed that because the milliseconds part of the update time was rounded, the logic of comparing for value between 0 and 1000 failed when the comparison returned -ve value. To resolve this, the comparison has been modified to !=0 and the 'when' rule pyContinueTaskProcessing has been added as an extension along with the appropriate usage guide to restrict processing. By default, the system will consider task name, description, due date, assignee, and rank properties; if more properties are needed to evaluate, this when rule can help.

Custom attachment category parameter passed to dropdown
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Attempting to use the out-of-the-box “Attachments control” which was configured at design time to use a custom category where both the custom category and the section class were in the same work class resulted in the attachment category dropdown defaulting to “File” instead of the custom category. Investigation showed that the custom attachment category name configured on the control was missing in one of the pre-processing activities sequence. To resolve this, the activity Work-.pzInitAttachContent and the initAttachmentPage activity have been updated to pass the custom attachment category parameter.

Check added for lock expiration when using Save for Default locking
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
With the default case locking policy, during the process from creating a Case Object to Submit it was possible for multiple users to edit and save the same work object if the lock expired for the original user. No warnings appeared. To resolve this, handling has been added for a lock expiration scenario: previously, Save for Default locking was not considered. This has now been updated with a check that will evaluate whether or not the lock is gone before attempting to save.

HTML tags escaped in Audit History field values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The case narrative section was showing case statuses with encoded special characters such as % or ( ), resulting in entries such as "Status changed to Complete &# 40;approved& #41; !@##$: %^& amp;*&# 40;&# 41;_&# 43;.</div>". This has been resolved by updating the PyMemo field from type Text Input to DisplayAsLiteral for case narrative, which matches the setting for case history.

Collaboration control hidden if data type is delegated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When collaborating using a customized CaseManager portal with some delegated data types, the admin user refreshing the Data Type view changed the collaborator's view from the portal to show the Data Type tabs, allowing the second person to open rules (properties, Data Pages, etc) and see the configuration even though they could not make any changes. This has been resolved by updating pzDataTypeDelegated to display the collaboration control only if pzDelegation is false.

Corrected doubled tag removal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After adding two tags for a Service case, attempting to delete the first tag resulted in the second tag also being removed. When three tags were present in the case, deleting the first tag caused the first and second to be deleted. Investigation showed this was caused by the run activity pyRemoveTagLink being called twice in run time, and has been resolved by updating the run activity.

Filename with non-ASCII characters normalized for Apple Safari upload
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Apple Safari browser, attaching a file name that contained Japanese characters resulted in an "attachment doesn't exist" error message when trying to open it again. This was caused by the special characters in the FileName for the Data/Query string not being encoded during the file upload, and has been resolved by updating the UploadFileToADocument activity to normalize the FileName if the Safari Browser is being used.
