Work List loads as expected in Microsoft Internet Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, the Work List was not loading in Microsoft Internet Explorer. This was an unintended side effect of work done to handle resizing the Recents list when another tab was open, and that change has been reverted to resolve this issue.

Escape added to Radio button field value to handle HTML tags
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
A radio button with a field label to display a help icon and to open the help URL when the icon was clicked did not display as intended. Changing the control to text area produced the desired results. This was traced to the radio button's label being assigned to a field value which returned a string that at some points contained HTML tags, and has been resolved by escaping the pyLabelFor value before assigning it to the aria-label attribute of the radio button's div tag.

Dragresize plugin removed from RTE for better Microsoft browser compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When a messge was sent through Pega chat while using the Edge web browser, the text field where the message was entered before the send button was pressed did not get cleared. This was traced to the Edge browser throwing a Permission Denied error while attempting to access a detached DOM element. To resolve this, the 'dragresize' plugin has been removed from RTE as its implementation is not compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and Edge.

Shortened URLs (bit.ly) supported with custom image size
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Marketing offers were very slow to load, often generating requestor lock exceptions due to the wait time. This was traced to one cell in one section that housed a company logo: the source to icon had a shortened "bit.ly" URL when the ImgaeIO API in Java expected the actual URL as its input. The API could not convert the shortened URL to the actual URL, resulting in the retries and connection failure. To resolve this, 'javax.imageio.ImageIO' invocation will happen only when the image size is auto. If custom height and width are used to display an image, Pega will not depend on the Java library and the system will be able to resolve the shortened URL.

Tab names maintained after Ajax container refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When using an Ajax container in Tabs mode, a browser refresh with multiple tabs opened caused the active tab name to be changed to the main tab name. This was caused by the work object name being lost during the refresh, and has been corrected.

DSS added to handle merges with lower versions of Postgres
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, executing the batch campaign with volume constraint resulted in the second data flow DF_Wait failing with error message "ERROR: number of columns (1844) exceeds limit (1664)". This was due to the database set’s change (in 8.5) to use the database layer’s merge statement. Prior to that, the logic used "deletes and inserts". Depending on the version of Postsgres, the generated SQL statement for a merge statement is different. The “INSERT … ON CONFLICT … UPDATE” syntax is generated for Postgres 9.5+ AND when there is a PK constraint defined for the DB table. Otherwise, the complex UPSERT statement (old syntax) is generated, as was the case in this issue. This is a known issue in the Postgres server software where it mis-interprets the number of columns involved. i.e., it mistakenly counts the number of columns twice. As a result, the actual maximum columns allowed is only half of the official limit (1664). The same UPSERT statement does not cause the “exceeds limit” exception if there are 832 or fewer columns in the statement. To resolve this, an option has been provided to select between the “original logic” (deletes and inserts) and the “merge statements” logic by way of the DSS “decision/datasets/db/useMergeStatementForUpdates”. Setting “true” will use the merge statement logic, and setting “false” will use deletes and inserts. When the DSS is not defined, the default is "true" and the system will use merge statements in the form preferred by Postgres 9.5+.

Iteration method updated for SetRequiredSkillsCountColumn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, database utilization spiked and did not drop. Investigation traced this to the use of Local.totalCount in pzSetRequiredSkillsCountColumn, which caused the iteration loop to run more times than necessary. This has been resolved by replacing Local.totalCount with Local.iterationsCount in the iteration.

Improved accessibility for Disclosable Documents/attach files/auto selection dropdowns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using Dragon for accessibility, issues were seen when trying to select different options in the dropdowns related to attaching multiple files. This was caused by the legacy grids being used not supporting this type of accessibility functionality, and has been resolved by updating pzAttachFileDDFileList to use an optimized table instead.

Field Level Audit updated to handle hierarchical properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Field Audit was not working for the first change of the data selected/provided for a field. The audit was only reflected after the second change was made. When the property involved a series of hierarchies, for example pageprop.pagelist(1).pageprop, the FLA objects will initially use deferred saves and the generated pzinskeys will be added to a savedFLAMap object. However, when the last pageprop was not eligible to save, all the deferred saves of earlier records were cancelled but the inskeys were not removed from the savedFLAMap object. Because of this, the parent FLA records were assumed to have been saved already when those saves were actually deferred. This was a missed use case for hierarchical properties, and has been resolved by adding an update to remove the inskeys from the savedFLAMap object so that in the subsequent property change the audit's FLA records for the parent properties (pageprop.pagelist(1)) will be saved again.

GetChildcases handling updated for large numbers of cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When a very high number of child cases being processed contained a wait shape that was dependent on the movement of a parent case, some of the cases were moved to the next step of the flow automatically while others required a manual command to ResumeFlow. In extreme cases where many child cases were waiting, a node crash could occur. This was traced to the pzGetChildcases report having a maximum value of 500 lines, and has been resolved by increasing the maximum number of rows to retrieve to 9999 in the Data Access Tab of the pzGetChildCases report definition. In addition, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified to perform with a higher number of cases, and DSS(MaxRecords) logic has been added to split the child cases into multiple queue items for each access group to decrease load on each thread process.
