New Application wizard disabled or enabled correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The New Application wizard was disabled with the error message: "Application creation is disabled as the current operator is in invalid state". This was traced to edits made to the Operator page which caused the new app wizard to not be shown due to failed validation. To resolve this, an update has been added which will refresh the operator page on click of the menu so the New Application wizard is disabled or enabled correctly.

Enhanced ruleset validation for portal creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to create a new portal (web channel) from the app studio using the Creation Wizard with "Branch development preferences" enabled resulted in the error message "No valid rulesets in application preferences". Investigation showed this occurred due to CPM-Portal being specified in the application as the UI class: when attempting to create the portal, the system was evaluating the class against ruleset candidates. The class was not visible to the rulesets in the stack and thus the portal could not be created. This has been resolved by adding validation on UI pages, Int and Data classes in the application to ensure that they exist in user rulesets, and by adding an allowance for classes to exist only in branched rulesets and not the base ruleset during check if the ruleset is present in application stack.

Link-Association-Follow updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The report definition 'pyGetAssociations' was generating the error "data.internal.rd.reference.InvalidReferenceException InvalidReferenceException .pxLinkedRefTo Cannot use an unexposed property as there is no BLOB column for the class: 'Link-Association-Channel'". This has been resolved by updating pzUnfollowReview to handle Link-Association-Follow, which will prevent these log errors.

Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.

Updated AttachmentPreview control for Account Manager Access Group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Account Manager Access group as the default and only access group on a profile, attempting to render a PDF on the click of a link did not work as expected. The render-on-click worked as expected when logged in as the Author and the application was switched to Account Manager. This has been resolved by registering the activity pzAppStorageOkToAttachFile in the pzAttachmentPreview control.

Clipboard page handling updated for encrypted values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When retrieving data that contained encrypted properties, the clipboard page either did not load, or if it did load the encrypted properties were not listed on the clipboard. This was traced to use of a read only data page, and has been resolved by updating pzRemovePWD with handling for read only pages.

Security updated for @baseclass
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, searching for a baseclass 'when' rule returned no results. Listing the rules under baseclass in App Explorer resulted in the error "Applies To: The Class with key value(s) %40baseclass does not exist". This was an unintended side effect of security updates, and has been resolved by creating an exception path for "@baseclass".

GetFunctionsForLibrary retrieves 10,000 rows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Some functions were missing from the expression builder browser and search results when pyShowInternalLibrary was set to true for including internal functions in the results. To resolve this, the default value for "Maximum number of rows to retrieve" in pzGetFunctionsForLibrary has been increased to 10,000.

Pull to refresh disabled during case submission
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Triggering a refresh (swipe down) on mobile while the spinning loading indicator was shown resulted in the error 'This action is not allowed' instead of being able to view the case. This has been resolved by disabling pull to refresh when there is any background network activity in progress.
