Count of remaining characters in a text box made accessible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
In order to improve accessibility, aria-describedby has been added to the Text Area character counter span element's ID so the remaining number of characters to enter in the text field will be read by the screen reader.

Dragresize plugin removed from RTE for better Microsoft browser compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
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 8.3.1
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.

RemoveThreadLEvelPages modified to preserve primary page for current action
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
The Job Scheduler Executions drill down showing success/fail results was inconsistently showing results for the wrong jobs when sorting by column (job name). Unsorted, it opened the correct results. This was traced to the pyRemovethreadLevelPages activity removing all pages including datapages on doUIAction, causing any action performed on the UI after sorting the grid to open a wrong page. This was an issue for both the Job scheduler page and the Queue processor page. To resolve this, the pyRemovethreadLevelPages activity has been modified to not remove the data page if it is the primary page for the current action.

Updated ConfirmHarness handling for case type creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
If a new case type was created with the initialization stage and there were no assignments in the case type, the /cases API did not return a NextPageID in response. This has been resolved by setting the pyConfirmHarness parameter before calling addworkobject.

Correct flow actions loaded in multi-thread portal refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The member authentication screen was displaying an incorrect flow action on doing browser refresh after creating a new interaction. Refresh is a special case where the parameter retention is different across single-threaded & multi-threaded portals alongside the execution order of activities. In this case, this inconsistency occurred in a multi-threaded portal when newAssignPage had the information to load the proper assignment but the parameter indicated an old index. This has been resolved by adding 'when' conditions to to populate and pass the correct references and labels and to honor the Param.TaskIndex set and sent by UI activities so it's retained in case of multi-thread portals.

Visible element populated for field value controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When implementing a section which had several labels with visible when conditions, this is not reflected in the DX API Get Assignment View. This has been resolved by adding a visible element.

HTML tags escaped in Audit History field values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The case narrative section was showing case statuses with encoded special characters such as % or ( ), resulting in entries such as "Status changed to Complete &# 40;approved& #41; !@#$ %^& amp;*&# 40;&# 41;_&# 43;.". This has been resolved by updating the PyMemo field from type Text Input to DisplayAsLiteral for case narrative, which matches the setting for case history.

Wait action persists when using Urgency Adjustment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When using the Urgency Adjustment (pyAdjustAssignmentsla standard local action), once a case reached the wait action and the goal and deadline were updated the previous pyWaitAction was not being stored. This has been resolved by ensuring the previous pyWaitAction will be stored and passed to the AddAssign activity.

DateTime format check added for REST response
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
While retrieving case details using the standard GetCases API, a datetime field defined on a work object was returned in JSON date format i.e. "QuoteExpiryDate": "2021-06-09T14:00:00.000Z". However when the same field was mapped to a flow action's section, the value was retrieved by the GetAssignmentAction API which returned the value in Pega's date format, "value": "20210609T140000.000 GMT". This was traced to a missed datetime format check in the REST response, and has been resolved by using the Rule-Utility-Function pzAPICreateJsonForField to handle the conversion of the time stamp to JSON format.
