Inline error messages linked to input for accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
In order to support accessibility for server side inline messages, the controls have been mapped to the error message div and an aria-describedby attribute has been added for the same. This allows JAWS to read the error message specific to the control where the error occurs.

DASS added to allow toggle of indexpurpose filter in declare index join
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
A performance issue was seen when using a declare index join to add a pxIndexPurpose filter to a very large index_workparty table, either taking a long time to process a search request or intermittently timing out. This was traced to recent modifications in the DeclareIndex Join filter conditions to better handle multiple declare index rules pointing to the same index table, As a result, doing a declare index join on one of the declare indexes returned results that included those that corresponded to other declare index rules. To resolve this, a DASS has been provided to toggle the inclusion of the indexpurpose filter in a declare index join to allow for better customization.

Auto-process assignments cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After configuring auto process with an assignment at the flow end, the perform harness was being presented at the end of the assignment during runtime. This was the result of the newAssign page not being removed as part of the cleanup after auto-processing was done, causing the performB2BAssignmentCheck activity to believe the next assignment existed. This has been resolved by ensuring that auto-process assignments have the newAssignPage removed after the assignment is deleted.

Child case locking error message has correct parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
A locking error message was appearing without the case parameter, showing "Error Message : Could not lock the cover ; has it. Please wait and try again later." This was traced to the cover already being present, causing the step to open the Cover Object to fail. To resolve this, and update has been added to pass the Cover case ID to the field value.

Parent flow next step will take precedence over sub-process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
ABreadcrumb configured in the screen flow was not displaying at the last assignment when there were multiple embedded sub processes and the last assignment was called in a sub process. This was traced to the parent flow next step information not being passed due to the next step in the sub process being marked as an end shape. To resolve this, the pzFlowSteps7 html control has been updated to pass the parent flow's next step information in this situation.

Null check added for embedded section pyInclude tag
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When attempting to implement a call to the Pega API casetypes endpoint, the end point /casetypes/{id} returned data for only some of the casetype IDs. For others there was no content in the response and in the logs the error "null at com.pegarules.generated.pzAPICreateJsonForGroup" was seen. This was traced to the use of an old section which did not generate the embedded section pyInclude tag. When the API was called on the same section, it tried to perform an equality check on the variable which gets the pyInclude value, and the null value caused the null pointer exception. This has been resolved by adding a null check to cover pyInclude in an embedded section.

Case history filter added for manual instantiation of Child Case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from v7.4 to v8.3, creating any child case from a parent case unexpectedly added the audit history "Child case xxxxx has been manually instantiated" to the parent case. In order to make this customizable, an "isHistoryAvailable" function has been added in the 'when' condition of "AddCoveredWork" Activity's "History-Add" Step. This will use the FilterHistory decision tree, which now has a setting for "ChildCaseInsAudit" to control whether or not the manual Instantiation of a Child Case will appear in the case history. The default is "true"; setting it to "false" will suppress the message.

Stage keeps proper order placement on restart
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When a user restarted a stage, the stage moved to the end of the list of stages and stayed there even when completed. Investigation showed that when pxRestartStage was configured as a post-processing activity for a flow action, pxStageHistory was updated with a new list item which considered pxCameFrom and pxStageId as the same. Due to this, the current stage was moved to last in the chevron. This has been resolved by adding a new 'when' condition to pzLoadStageStatusDP that will skip the item of pxStageHistory (Alternate stage) if both .pxCameFrom and .pxStageId are same.

OpenIfStale updated to resolve optimistic locking race condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
A race condition was created in optimistic locking by having two assignments save at overlapping times. This has been resolved by modifying the pzShowConflicts activity to use a version of openIfStale which will consider a workpage as stale even if the difference in pxUpdateDatetime is in milliseconds.

Added parameter skipPropertyEvaluation to handle CSS in email HTML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
While sending an email with custom HTML appended to the email body, a "+" sign in the body was causing the correspondence generation to fail. Investigation showed that if there were CSS classes with braces in the message body, the braces were being removed and replaced via "+" symbol in step 21 of CorrCreate activity. To resolve this, a new Boolean parameter skipPropertyEvaluation has been added in the CorrCreate activity to handle the decision to either evaluate the logic or not, and the pre-requisite will be to resolve all the property references before calling this activity so custom CSS braces { } will be honored when the message body is sent. In order to skip the evaluation that removes and replaces the braces, the skipPropertyEvaluation must be checked.
