Badge text Control Format supports declare expression target
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
In the user screen, some properties are shown in 'Text' control with 'Badge text' control format. When the value of this property was set in Data Transform, it appeared correctly. When the property value was set in Declare Expression, no background color was set. This was traced to a missed use case in the implementation work for vtable, which resulted in the control format mentioned in presentation tab of control not being applied on markup when the property was a declare expression target. This has been corrected.

Check added to skip validationtype for disabled controls with Accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
On enabling Accessibility, a disabled DateTime control was throwing a 'required' error. This was due to the dropdown markup having the validationType="required" attribute set if the control was configured with a required 'when' expression. Even though the expression evaluated as false, validationType="required" was still set. This issue was seen only in non-template datetime control, and has been corrected with a check to skip adding a validationType attribute for a disabled control in Accessibility mode.

Parameters added to protect font size in HTML to PDF conversion
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Pega uses the pd4ml external library for HTML to PDF conversion. As part of this, the adjustHTMLWidth API was called to avoid truncation issues, but this resulted in font-sizes not being preserved in the exported document but rather changed as necessary to fit in the PDF. In order to support preserving the font size during export, the pyPDFSettings datatransform will call the protectPhysicalDimensions API along with setHTMLWidth, and avoid calling adjustHTMLWidth. With this change in place, any content width should not be set explicitly to some value as it may lead to truncation if the space is not sufficient. If there is no width set, text will wrap automatically. In case of tables with large number of columns, truncation issues may be seen: to avoid such issues, pass a larger htmlWidth value so that table will be reduced in size and in the rest of the page, font-sizes are preserved.

Resolved non-template harness stale reference for navigation menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Post upgrade, the navigation menu was initially present but disappeared on click of a menu item. This issue was seen only when the harness was non-template and SPA was enabled on the dynamic container: when launch harness was done on the same harness, change tracker created a new thread object but the client cache was holding the stale reference. When using template harness, mergeBigData adds all the new details into the stale object, preventing this issue. To resolve this issue for non-template harnesses, initChangeTracker in pzpega_ui_doc_lifecycle file has been updated.

Layout management corrected for nested gadget sections
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Post-upgrade, some buttons were missing or mis-aligned, specifically the 'Reopen' and 'Cancel this Assignment' buttons were missing, and if 'Cancel this Assignment' was clicked, the Back button was missing. Investigation showed that when using nested gadget section includes, the necessary stack management to pop previous gadget parameters was not present. This has been resolved by adding a check for template rendering, as there is separate handling for template rendering to manage the stack.

Aria-collapsed replaced with aria-expanded to improve accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Previously, the system used the aria-collapsed attribute for the left and right navigation toggling. In order to improve accessibility, this attribute has been changed to aria-expanded and the value will be set to true/false accordingly.

Support added for recording with sIngle-option radio button inside a repeating grid
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Recording a test case was not working when a single option radio button (i.e., radio button control with property of type boolean) was configured inside a repeating grid. In this case, it was found that the Radio button markup did not have a data-test-id attribute for non-template single option; this has been added.

StretchTabsWidth performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Slowness was seen when a new intent task was created through an interaction. To improve performance, some of the unnecessary calls to the Layout Group _updateStretchTabsWidth() function have been eliminated, and the function code has been updated to use native javascript performant helper functions so it starts rendering sooner. A flag has also been added to disable addnewtab and resizeactions: these need to be enabled through pega.u.d.DISABLE_LG_RESIZE and pega.u.d.DISABLE_ADDNEWTAB.
