Question Wizard import will downcase answer types to match system requirements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
The Question Upload wizard would not create a File type question while using a survey template. The template has a column Answer mode in which accepts an input of the type of answer expected, but in this use case "File" was given instead of "file", resulting in the question being created using the default values. To resolve this, during the import process when the system parses the file and gets the contents from the data using the pzSetdefaultValuesforQuestions DT, mode values will be explicitly set to lowercase.

Survey Question Page Radio/Dropdown Button retains value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
After creating an Interaction from the portal and selecting "Survey", the Survey Question Page using a Radio button/Dropdown button as Question did not retain the value after a selection was made. This has been resolved by modifying the refreshSurvey method in pzsurvey_ui_userscript.js to work with an Ajax container.

Updates for nested "Append And Map To"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nested actions "Append And Map To" in Data Transforms were producing incorrect results when offline. This was traced to all operations being performed on the Page List which was on first level of nesting, which was caused by changing the Data Transform into JavaScript form for offline use. The JavaScript form of DataTransform uses variable the "targetListObj" to represent the Page List, and this same name was reused regardless of the "Append And Map To" nesting. An additional problem was seen with the "Update Page" Data Transform action when used with conjunction with a nested "Append And Map To" action: the action assumes that top level Pages exists, but "Update Page" did not create them. This caused the "Append And Map To" action to fail. To resolve this, the "Append And Map To" action will use suffixed variable names to reference nested PageLists, and "Update Page" will create the Page if it doesn't exist.

User lookup list correctly populated when using # tag
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When typing '#ANewTag @' in Pulse, the user lookup list was not shown. Using '#ExistingTag @' worked as expected. This was a missed use case in work done to improve the performance of pzJquerymentionsInput by restricting REST calls, and has been resolved.

Handling added for reactivating combined Passivation and AccessGroup timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Refreshing a passivated browser window in Dev Studio for an operator with a combined access group and passivation timeout was resulting in a blank screen after re-authenticating. InvalidParameterException and InvalidReferenceException messages were logged. Research showed this was caused by a missing pxPortal property on the pxThread page along with missing Application and Accessgroup pages. While refreshing the browser along with the top URL, there will be few requests with tab threads calling activities such as deletedocumentpg and SetProcessWindowName because there was an unload. Because these requests reached the server before re-authentication, the threads proceeded to the activation flow, causing properties such as pxPortal, Application, and Accessgroup pages to be removed from the thread page and requestor page according to the condition that the requestor was not yet authenticated. To resolve this, the logic in session.internal.authorization.context.BasicApplicationContextImmutableImpl#applyApplicationProperties has been updated to skip removing application page properties from the thread page in this combined Passivation and AccessGroup timeout scenario.

Handling updated for queue processor locks
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
The Final activity mentioned in the processing epilog of the Service File rule was not being consistently called from File Listener, causing some of the cases to become stuck and not continue to the next stage. Investigation showed that if the lock was held by the queue processor requestor, the system was unable to obtain the lock but still proceeded to update the LogServiceFile page and persist it. This resulted in overwriting changes made on the LogServiceFile page by the requestor, resetting the completed-batches-count set back to 0. To resolve this, RuleServiceFile -> updateLSFBatchCounts() will call the overloaded lockAndLoad() method in LogServiceFile that accepts a parameter called lockAttempts. This will attempt to obtain a lock for a given number of times before throwing an exception.

Queue Processor threads explicitly cleared before new interaction
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Queue Processor was not clearing already evaluated freshness caches before running an activity, potentially causing a stale data page to be processed. This has been resolved by explicitly clearing the thread on a new interaction by invoking ((IPRThread) thread).clearOnNewInteraction.
