Resolved MultiSelectList control issues for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The MultiSelectList control was no longer working for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+. When a user attempted to select one or multiple items in the MultiSelectList control, the values were not captured when going to the next screen and a JavaScript exception was thrown. This was due to an API change in newer versions of the Internet Explorer (Microsoft Internet Explorer) browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is following a more strict standard about how the createElement function is used, which caused the JS error to be thrown, and the system has been updated to resolve this issue.

Multi-cell paste supported for Excel Map Value edits
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When trying to paste multiple rows into a Map Value using the 'Edit in Excel' feature, a runtime error was generated. The root cause was a refactoring code snippet that assumed only one cell for a change / paste, and the logic failed for multi-cell paste. The property used in the original logic becomes nonexistent (Target.Value) when multiple cells are being pasted. To resolve this, a different property (an array called Target.Value2 ) has been incorporated to populate and adjust the target cells.

Resolved schema qualification for dedicated tables
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When creating a data table / data class via the wizard, selecting "Create Dedicated Table" would show success on the wizard screen but the class was mapped to "pr_other" and an error was logged.

Purging of covered objects improved
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When purging a Cover item, the history of certain covered objects was not purged. This happened when the Cover and Covered classes belonged to different class groups. This happened because the 'getHistoryKeys' function tries to fetch the history details of a given key by looking into its history table. This was using the class group information from the archive configuration, which was not always the same for covered objects. To resolve this, the classgroup info will be fetched from its key - looking up Class map using the constructed class name will give the actual History Class name.

Updated RDEs invoked by collection rules
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Collection Rule was not invoking an RDE when the RDE is configured to be "When applied by a Rule Collection". However, it worked fine when the RDE is configured to fire "Whenever inputs change". This was found to be a problem with declare expressions not fired a second time. The RDE is configured with change tracking "when applied by a rule collection". In certain cases the system will try to avoid caching auto chaining status on to property as YES, so chaining is skipped the second time. Because this was not leading to the desired results, the code has been changed to cache the auto chain status for RDEs for collections.

Collapsible header text updated for accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a UI layout/section used a collapsible header, JAWS read the field values "Click to expand" and "Click to collapse." Using the word "Click" is not optimal for accessibility, and this field has been changed to "Disclose contents" and "Hide contents."

Smoothed multiple portal tabs handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After opening the Case Manager developer portal, if a user portal was opened in a second tab using the 'Switch Portal' option shown in operator menu, returning to the developer portal tab caused that tab to be refreshed and the user portal tab to close. Previously, attempting to open a second portal session in a tab of the same window resulted in a 'Multiple sessions running' error. This limitation was removed in Pega 7.x. However, in this case the 'ShowDesktop' activity could not determine the 'ThreadName' parameter and defaulted to the 'Standard' thread and this change caused the refresh. The logic for determining the thread name has been updated to remove this issue.
