Local user lookup modifed to use requestor level data page to improve performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In a system with many users (over 40k), attempting to search for a user to send a private message was taking an excessive amount of time. Analysis found that all of the users were being loaded at once in a page list of type Code-Pega-List. This led to errors indicating the Page List property had more elements than the specified threshold, but pagination could not be added as the activity and RD are final. To improve performance, this process has been modified to use a data page at the requestor level instead.

Resolved loop causing search to fail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, searching for a case caused node failure. This was traced to a system loop when trying to remove duplicate workpool classes and has been resolved by updating the pyPopulateWorkPoolsAndClassesForTagsSearch activity to remove extra looping on workpool classes in step 3. In addition, a new 'when' rule pyIsTagSearchEnabled has been added: the pySearchWrapper activity will only search tags when this rule is true.

Added more error handling in pzCreateThumbnail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In activity pzCreateThumbnail, a null pointer error was generated at step 2. This was traced to the value of originalImage being null even though there was no error in the image file itself, and has been resolved by adding an error check .

Security added to retrieving operator list by URL extension
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
It was possible to append information to the application URL which allowed an unauthenticated user to find a list of operators. This has been corrected, and will now result in the message "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator."

Page cleanup processes updated to facilitate Pulse Task creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Attempting to create a Pulse Task in an assignment resulted in a "The Operation completed successfully, but returned no content" screen after clicking submit. This was traced to an incorrect usage of createworkpage. To resolve this, the system has been updated so that before calling createworkpage, a page-remove will be done so createworkpage will not clean the assignment page.

Synchronization continuation updated so mobile attachments properly preview
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Clicking on attachments in mobile would open them if the attachment had just happened, but otherwise would not open them at all. This was traced to an issue with Synchronization continuation: the page was properly loaded from database but its content was not used to fill the named OfflinePackage page (which contains only the search keys). This has been corrected by replacing the empty page with the one loaded from the database.

Setting added to allow commas in bulk upload survey questions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Questions uploaded in bulk to Survey Designer were delimited by comma, potentially causing an issue when an option itself contains a comma. Because this is a hard-coded Excel template value, this has been addressed with the addition of an extension where delimiter values can be configured and overridden.

Pulse mentions correctly tagged in Google Chrome
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Pulse mentions of spaces or users were not getting tagged correctly. This issue was due to recent changes in the way touch events are handled in Google Chrome: the latest upgrade removed the ontouchstart property in the window, causing the isTouchable capability identification method to fail. As part of the work done to resolve this, it was discovered that the initAutocomplete function in the pzJquerymentionsInput .js was failing to delegate the mousedown event. This has been corrected by delegating touchstart and mousedown while initializing if screen isTouchable.

Placeholder text added for question dropdown sourced by a datapage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
In a flow action with question pages where each question page was configured with a set of question rules, one question which displayed a country list in a dropdown sourced from a datapage always displayed the first value by default in the dropdown instead of place holder text (like Select..). In addition, the default selection value of the dropdown was not saving to the clipboard on submission of the flow action, causing it to appear in the UI like the first value had been selected even though nothing was saved on the clipboard. These issues have been resolved by adding place holder text in pzSetQuestionStreamSimpleDynamicSelect for a dropdown with a datapage source
