Correct step pages set for openUrlInWindow configured inside an RDL row section
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
The step page when a Repeating Dynamic Layout is rendered was always the first element in the Page List. This meant that given a Page List with 3 entries: .ExamplePageList(1), .ExamplePageList(2), and .ExamplePageList(3), when the first Repeating Dynamic Layout was rendered it was expected that the step page would be .ExamplePageList(1), when the second Repeating Dynamic Layout was rendered the step page would be .ExamplePageList(2), and when the third Repeating Dynamic Layout was rendered the step page would be .ExamplePageList(3). In actuality, when the first Repeating Dynamic Layout was rendered the step page was .ExamplePageList(1), but when the second and third RDLs were rendered, the step page was also .ExamplePageList(1). This was traced to a missed use case: when openUrlInWindow was configured on a control inside the RDL row section with the "use page" setting, the pzPrimaryPage was incorrectly stamped, i.e., the step page of the first row is stamped on controls of all the rows. This has been fixed by making use of pzAuto.getUIComponentRuntime().generateActionTokenForStepPage() instead of tools.getStepPage().getReference().

Client library version will be cached for Apache use in building client-response headers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
As an unintended consequence of refactoring the REST connect client code, an SQL query was being passed on every REST connect call to retrieve the version of the 3rd party client library being used for REST connectors (Apache HTTPClient 4.5.2) for insertion into the client user-agent string. The extensive use of REST connectors was driving up DB elapsed/CPU time, sometimes involving between 60-110K queries in a 60 min period. To correct this, the version info will be retrieved on the first use of ComponentsRESTClient and then be re-used for each subsequent call. This will make Apache avoid the code path that does the queries.

Enhancement added to allow multiselect input by clicking outside the area
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
Previously, the multi-select control would process, add, and set the value on 'enter key'. An enhancement has been added to allow setting the value in multi-select input even when the users click outside after entering a value, allowing multi-select to also work like a normal input text box. To do this, a flag has been added to not clear the multiselect value on blur.

Required flag set by passed value is maintained while toggling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When using a section where a radio button field was required based on the value of another field, it correctly showed the * indicator for required the first time but would hide it subsequent times. This was traced to client side required expressions not toggling properly for radio buttons due to class and data-class attributes missing null checks that resulted in setting null as the attribute value. This has been fixed by adding a check for the attribute value existence before toggling.

Addressed memory leak on non-optimized DSM clipboard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
A memory leak was seen after setting DSM/clipboard/optimize to false and executing a DataFlow load test using regular clipboard pages. This has been addressed by disabling the inference engine on the input thread of the DataFlow.

Template fixed so JAWS reads menu name when an image is used
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When using template mode, JAWS was reading the image src text for navigation menus configured with an image on them. This was caused by the role="link" aria-haspopup="true" being wrongly generated on the <img> tag, and has been fixed by updating the template file to generate the role only for an anchor tag and not on img.

Enhancement added to configure location for data import error CSV file
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
An enhancement has been added to allow the Data Import Error CSV file location configurable through the addition of the property pyErrorFileStorage. This property needs to be set before the input process is started and supports only filespec syntax. It should contain the fileStorage location like file://defaultstore:/ , file://amazons3:/, etc. The value can be set to any of the available repositories and the error file will be placed accordingly in the respective repository. This process is more flexible than DSS, and allows the site to configure different locations for different imports in the same application. If no value is passed to the import process, Defaultstore will be used.

Reduced redundant reads of work objects during CheckLockingMode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
In analyzing captured Trace data, it was noted that there were several redundant reads of the work object, including within the pzCheckLockingMode activity. In order to avoid unnecessary opens of Work objects in pzCheckLockingMode, it has been modified to conditionally open the Work object/Cover object.

JAWS correctly reads date label only once
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
If a section was created with a date field and a label, JAWS read the Date label twice in calendar display mode. This was due to there being a <label> associated with the date-time control and then the aria-label was being added as part of the helper text implementation. To resolve this, the aria-label will be removed in non-template, and but in template only the label for the text in the aria-label attribute will be removed.

Fixed system repopulating emptied PageList in cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
While removing all items from a pagelist within a work object in the client cache, pagelist.remove(index) is called to perform the work After syncing to the server, all items unexpectedly returned to the page list. This was traced to the 'getDiffSnapshot' method in process_engine-js skipping empty array properties and not adding them to the diffSnapshot, causing the data to be restored during the sync merge process. To resolve this, if the updatedWorkPage is emptied, it will be set to an empty array. If a property of type array is found, the system will iterate over the updatedWorkPage and populate the pyWorkPage.
