Updated report widget drilldown logic for better non-ASCII character support
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When a report in the report widget had a drilldown chart with a parameter containing certain non-ASCII characters, no entries for the drilldown filter were shown even when there was data that matched that filter. This was traced to the drilldown JavaScript for dashboard report widgets encoding the drilldown parameter twice, causing characters that were Unicode but not ASCII to be corrupted. This has been resolved by updating the logic for pzpega_chart_legacydrilldown.js and pzpega_control_actions_reportdefinition.js to ensure the parameter is not encoded twice.

Handling added for runtime exception on upgrade due to inaccessible external schema mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
If a system used external schema mapping, attempts to upgrade were failing with the error "Caused by: com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.ConfigurationException: Unable to obtain data source "java:comp/env/jdbc/PegaRULES", as it is undefined". This was traced to configuring external DADNs which were not accessible from the server where the upgrade was being run: an upgrade will fail if it cannot connect to an external datasource even if no changes need to be made to that datasource. However, because a PRRuntimeException was unexpectedly being thrown instead of a Database Exception, the exception was not properly caught and handled. This has been corrected.

Handling added for null requiredskillcount on assignment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7

Corrected approval step task message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When a case progressed to the approval step, the task name did not properly appear as part of the "Please approve or reject this" message. In another scenario, a portal which supported locale switching was not translating "Please approve or reject this" when the locale was switched, but instead displayed the message in the original language. Investigation traced this to the pzInstructionsForApproval data transform storing the localized field value, causing it to persist inappropriately. This has been resolved.

Updated retry logic for S3 AddAttachmentFromEmail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using the AddAttachmentFromEmail activity with S3 repositories, performing an obj-save on the data-workattach-file page executes a deferred save while also saving the file into the repository. if the data was inserted into S3 successfully but encountered an issue when saving the related data-work-attach-file page, the system was trying to call the save operation again. This tried to insert the duplicate attachment again to S3, causing an error on that side of the process. To resolve this, the duplicate Obj-Save functionality in AddAttachmentFromMail Activity has been removed.

Completed onChange will reset FileInput value to null
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When attaching a file using the "Select File" button, it was not possible to attach the same file after deleting it. Re-attaching the file worked as expected when using Drag and Drop. Investigation showed that the onchange event occurred only when the value of an element was changed, so in this case trying to attach the same file did not change the value of the element and did not fire the onchange. To resolve this, the value of FileInput in pzMultiFilePath Control will be set to null at the end of the onChange event so that an onChange event will be triggered next time even if the same file is added.
