Access Control Policy updated to handle NotEqual with valuelist
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When editing the Access Control Policy Condition rule in Designer Studio and setting condition to 'is not equal', comparing it to a list generated the error "function not found". The same configuration worked as expected for the 'is equal' condition. This has been resolved by updating policycondition to handle a not equal scenario combined with a valueList property.

Updated key handling for ProcessJWT
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
After configuring an authentication service which used the ProcessJWT activity to validate the token received, the error "Unable to process the Json Web Token " was seen. Analysis showed the error was caused by a duplicate Key Id in JWK Endpoint Response: the system removed keys after processing, and in the case of duplicate keys the system was throwing null pointer exception because the key had already been removed. To resolve this, the system has been updated to not remove the keys from the map as part of this process.

Cleanup added for staging directory
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Temporary files from imports and exports (from DevOps) were filling up the staging area disk space because there was no automatic process for cleaning up these local files. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will clear the directory on Engine Startup and any time ParUtils.setStagingDirectory gets called to initialize the staging directory.

SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server. (The SameSite value "None" works only in secure HTTPS connections.) Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For cookie requirements other than mashup, it should be set as either Strict or Lax, depending upon your application.

Corrected table row highlighting on iPad
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
A table row was highlighted when clicked on an iPad in landscape view, but when the device was rotated to portrait view the row was not highlighted. This was traced to the background CSS overriding the selected style, and has been corrected by modifying py-responsive-overrides.css.

StretchTabsWidth performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Slowness was seen when a new intent task was created through an interaction. To improve performance, some of the unnecessary calls to the Layout Group _updateStretchTabsWidth() function have been eliminated, and the function code has been updated to use native javascript performant helper functions so it starts rendering sooner. A flag has also been added to disable addnewtab and resizeactions: these need to be enabled through pega.u.d.DISABLE_LG_RESIZE and pega.u.d.DISABLE_ADDNEWTAB.

Added support for Helper Text Question Mark with visibility condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
The Helper Text Question Mark was not displaying if the control was configured with "Help icon with overlay on hover" combined with a visibility condition. This was a missed use case, and the expression visibility support for controls.changes have now been added in the pzpega_ui_DLCellTemplate.js file.

Harness context will be stored to handle on click executed outside of the Ajax Container
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
An exception was generated in the interaction portal on execution of a post-value action for the on-change event on a text-box in the service case: "Failed to find instance Work-Interaction-Research.EmailBodyRTE of type Rule-HTML-Section". This was traced to a condition where clicking outside of the Ajax Container context to trigger the change caused the Events code to execute the event in the active context when the active context had already been changed by clicking outside of the AC. To avoid this, the system will store the harness context in the event object using pega.ctxmgr.getContextByTarget(target) API. Additional changes were also made to handle the context switching in case of post value when the blur triggers a change in context.

Added toggle to hold radio button value during multiple service case creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When a field was implemented with a radio button control in the service case screen, starting two cases of the same or different case type (with the same property and control) resulted in the selected value not sticking in the first case when selections were made for the second case. This was traced to multiple radio buttons with the same name in the dom for different AJAX containers: as per radio buttons behavior, only one could be selected if they have the same name. To correct this issue, updates have been made to change the name on radio buttons which are inside the hidden AJAX container and toggle the changes when the buttons should be shown.
