Strategy rules open from proposition filter after update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
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.

Archiving updated to include pxobjclass in CTE column list
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After enabling the case archival feature on a casetype, cases were getting stuck in the Archive-Ready state while being archived, and a 'column not found' error was seen. Investigation showed that the generated SQL statement used to retrieve the resolved case instances used a common table expression (CTE) whose columns were inskey, insclass, and parentinskey, and the query that referenced the CTE was attempting to compare the column pxobjclass when pxobjclass did not exist in the CTE's column list. To resolve this, the CTE column list has been updated to pzinskey, pxobjclass, and parentinskey to prevent the 'column not found error' from occurring, and the query that referenced the CTE was also updated to use the correct column names and aliases.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

Alternative pyLabel source for Auto-generated Proposition Filter added as fall back
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After using save-as to move an offer/action rule containing eligibility criteria into a new ruleset /branch, the criteria disappeared. Proposition Filter has an explicit dependency on relevant records, and in this scenario investigation revealed all of the relevant records had been previously deliberately deleted. Using save-as on auto-generated CDH rules like actions is also not a best practice. To better handle unexpected actions like these and avoid the hard dependency on Relevant Records, when creating the Proposition Filter via the programatic API the system will fall back to reading the label from the sourcePage if is not possible to get the label from Relevant Record.

Parameter added to prevent name localization in Dev Studio Reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Running the DataTableEditorReport against a customer table translated names that matched localized values, such as "Mr. Block" became "Mr. Sperren" when the locale was set to de_DE even though the property was marked as "Do not localize" in UI Controls in the report definition filter. To resolve this, the parameter 'pyskiplocalization' has been added for use in the RRFilters_logic and while displaying the select Values popup.

Handling added to process Actions chunks on multiple nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
If the synching of chunks to a node was interrupted, attempting to resume the remaining chunks resulted in a processing issue if the Load Balancer passed the connection to a different node than was used for the first connection. As an example, if chunks were synched to node "A" and the restarted sync saved the remaining chunks to node "B", when all chunks were synced node "B" incorrectly determined node "A" was actually doing the work and skipped the processing of the chunks on node "B". This resulted in queued chunks being left untouched. To resolve this, the logic has been updated to allow multiple nodes to process the chunks.

Query added to find time zone for MSSQL database
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The exception "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: xp_regread() returned error 5, 'Access is denied.'" was generated when the AES agent PushDBSizeInfo was being run. This was traced to the GetDBInfo activity trying to retrieve the time zone of the MSSQL database by executing a query that used a Microsoft SQL routine to read the windows registry to get the current time zone. The error was not due to security within the SQL Server, but instead was caused by Microsoft Windows security related to the permissions on the registry keys for the users under which specific SQL Server processes were running. To resolve this, an update has been made to call a different query which will get the time zone for the SQL Server.

Check added for allowed editing with CSRF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After enabling CSRF, it was not possible to edit a data table used to define ACL rules due to security preventing the adding/editing of rows and user group entitlements. This has been resolved by using browser FingerPrint validation to check whether an activity is in a secured list and skipping validation for allowed activities.

Deprecated NewWorkGadget registered for BAC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Logging in through the Administrator portal and launching a new project resulted in a blank screen. Investigation traced this to the Create New Work action called in the NewWorkGadget control; because the NewWorkGadget is no longer used by Pega, it was not registered for use with BAC. To resolve this, validations have been added for Control: NewWorkGadget, and the control has been marked as deprecated.

Visible element populated for field value controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
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.
