Portal Header persists appropriately
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The Portal header was disappearing immediately after case attachments were opened from the right sidebar and did not reappear even after refresh. This was traced to the absence of pd(event), and has been resolved by adding pd(event) to the onclick attribute in the anchor tag in the attachment UIKit rules.

Deprecated status removed from StartCaseType
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After updating from Pega v8.4 to v8.6, guardrail warnings were seen for the deprecated pxStartCaseType flow rule. This occurred for old case types created prior to v8.5. A utility has already been provided to upgrade the case type to include create stage, but this warning has been resolved by removing the deprecated status on pxStartCaseType to allow processes to proceed without a guardrail warning.

Strategy rules open from proposition filter after update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After update, strategy rules could not be opened from the proposition filter. This was caused by the pxInsName property being populated only when a strategy rule gets selected/configured from the CB gadget. For upgrade scenarios where the condition is already configured with a strategy rule, the pxInsName property will be missing. To handle this upgrade use case, the "Rule-open-by-keys" action will be used instead of "Rule-open-by-name", as rule keys are always present while pxInsName gets populated for only new configurations.

Added logic to handle manual validate rule creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Manually creating a Validate rule with conditions and then opening the configure view with conditions caused the validation rule to be removed from the flow action rule along with the validation conditions in the validation rule referred in flowAction rule. This has been resolved by updating the logic in the Condition Builder to handle this use case.

Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
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.

Removed redundant Microsoft Outlook email interaction chain
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When opening an email interaction case, the email editor user interface area showed the complete email chain of the email for every new message that came in related to the case. This was traced to the difference in the selectors that various email clients use to construct a response to an email with email history in it, and has been resolved by updating the selectors for Microsoft Outlook in pyRichTextEmailHistorySelector so no conversation is repeated when using that client.

Resource added to extract email threading code from message body
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
In some scenarios the case ID was not being sent in the subject of email replies as expected, and the secure tracking code was part of the email body instead. That caused replies back to the email thread to create a new email interaction case instead of properly threading the new message into the conversation. Investigation traced this to some email clients removing space after the tracking code. To resolve this, an update has been made which will extract the tracking code from email-content html if it is found and otherwise fallback to the email body.

Added handling for reloading portal while ChatBot is active
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
An issue was seen with UI rendering when a customer tried to reload the portal where the chatbot is deployed. Investigation showed that this was caused by the screen going to pyCreate harness instead of ChatPerform harness due tot he unexpected refresh, and has been resolved by updating the handling for the Chat Work page and the business case so that pyWorkPage is always Work-Channel-Chat.
