DSS added to control merge strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The activity page merge option takes merge strategy as input and supports different merge strategy options like 'Replace', 'Update' etc. Previously, V1 DX APIs defaulted to REPLACE as the merge strategy; this has been updated to support both 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE' merge strategies which can be controlled with the new DSS "v1MergeStrategy". The DSS to customize the merge strategy for v2 APIs is 'v2MergeStrategy', which also takes the values 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE', which are for merge strategy '1' and '3' respectively. The default strategy from Pega 8.6 forward is 'UPDATE' and any other value other than the above two values will be considered as 'UPDATE'.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Updated bulk action audit history logic and security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, using the standard bulk action feature did not record an audit history entry for the SLA action on a case. This was traced to changes made around authorization for opening worklists when using pzBulkProcessItem that limited the audit history to reassign, transfer or transfer assignment, and has been resolved by updating the login the Work-pzBulkProcessItem activity. In addition, the Require authentication to run checkbox has been enabled on the Security tab of the activity, and the Allow invocation from browser checkbox has been disabled.

Security updated to allow Access group switching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a member of two different access groups attempted to switch from one group to another, an "access denied" message occurred. This was traced to the use of BAC, and has been resolved by updating the pzProcessApplicationSwitch activity to use the pzEncryptURLActionString function to register the request.

Handling updated for custom attachment method
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When sending a correspondence using the standard SendSimpleEmail activity, choosing only one attachment from the multiple attachments in the work object by passing the pxLinkedRefTo property from the clipboard page to the AttachmentKeysToSend parameter instead of passing the value to the AttachmentCategoriesToSend parameter successfully sent the message and attached it to the work object. However, opening the correspondence attached to the work object showed the attached file as blank even though the attachment was present in the receiver’s email. Research showed that during the comparison of keys in place of pxLinkedRefTo, pzinskey was used. This caused the comparison to not register as true and the attachments display was skipped. Duplicate files were also being attached due to the previously attached files not being verified. Previous work updated the Data-Corr-Email.Show Html rule to use the pxLinkedRefTo field to find the right attachment. The URL encryption was also updated to ensure the links are functional and attachments can be downloaded. Additional work has been added to expand the use of the pxLinkedRefTo field to Show HTML called from @baseclass.

Re-save case type completes successfully
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Checking in a case type rule with Stage Rule reference was failing. This was traced to the RuleCheckin activity being called in a nested fashion that caused an inner run to remove the "pyOriginalRecord" page which was needed in the outer run to set the .pyRuleset property (at Step 34), and has been resolved.

CheckFlowDependencies updated for auto-instantiated child cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A parent case with more than one child case was producing an unexpected behavior during the child case creation process. The first child case was instantiated at the correct point of the case stage based on its dependency condition, but the following cases were instantiated at the same point where the first child case was created irrespective of the dependency conditions defined in the other child cases. Investigation showed that the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity called from the Resolve activity was removing the named pages "pyTopCaseMap" "pyTopCaseWork" which are required for starting and validating configured auto-instantiate child cases in the pzCanStart function. To resolve this, an update has been made to CheckFlowDependencies which will use the activity "pzResolveCaseHierarchyMap" for removing the "pyTopCaseMap" and "pyTopCaseWork" pages based on DependencyType.
