Corrected text wrapping for attached notes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using out-of-the-box functionality for attaching a note, the text was not wrapped and showed in one long line. The root cause of this problem was the "pre" tag in the HTML not breaking the lines and not wrapping, and styles have been added to fix the attachment issue.

Step names localized in Stage and Steps display
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, Step names in the Stage and Steps display were not localized under the ButtonLabel Field Value rules in the same way as the Stage names. This was due to the title being derived from the control "StageProcessLink", which is a non-auto generated control being directly fetched in the HTML markup instead of querying the getLocalizedText method. This has been changed to allow Step names to be included in localization as expected.

Added optional setting for handling blank localization settings
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, a blank localization value was carried forward as a blank value. This behavior was changed in Pega7 to have the localization API Executable#getLocalizedText return the Label itself. In order to maximize usability going forward, an API has been added that allows either behavior based on local settings. This is accessible as PublicAPI.java getLocalizedTextForString (String aRef, String aString,boolean aReturnEmptyForLocalisedString) To use the API to carry the empty value, pass "true" to aReturnEmptyForLocalisedString parameter. The API will then return the localized string in the field value as-is i.e it will return an empty string if the localized string is empty.

Corrected handling for properties in XML rule
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using properties mapped on the root element of an XML SOAP rule, the attributes were mapped properly but the element value was not. In a related error, after giving ParseXML rule invocation values for Type Substitution for Parse XML, the XML was not mapped to the clipboard for the type substituted elements. There was a workaround of using DSS 'switchtooldassembler', but this has been fixed by updating parsexmlsaxrulewrapper.

Transfer and Reassign enhanced to work from embedded pages
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a work flow is called from an embedded page, attempting to perform a transfer using the Out-Of-The-Box "Transfer" Flow Action was failing with the exception "The Flow Action post-processing activity Reassign failed: The reference .pyConfirmationNote is not valid. Reason: FUAInstance-NullMyStepPage". This was traced to the configuration not be prepared to work on an embedded page, and has been modified to direct the reassign activity to get the toplevel page if the step page is embedded.

Clarified complex visible 'when' usage with Expression Builder
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Execution was failing while using a complex visible 'when' expression with more than one Boolean operator. This is not incorrect behavior; Expression Builder only honors one Boolean operator, but the expression will work if typed directly and "Run on Client" is checked. This caused confusion due to the system not flagging the expression as unsupported in Expression Builder, and this has been fixed. In addition, the code has been updated to properly handle multiple logical operators so that runtime behavior is correct and no error is reported at save time. However, please note the following important information: For auto-generated sections, complex 'when' expressions will be allowed and honored when typed directly , but Expression Builders will still allow only one operator. Also, for non-auto generated sections and JSP directives, the old limitation of 1 operator will still apply.

DB2 DateTime conversion fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After inserting date values in DB2, using the select command and retrieving the above date values using RDB-List returned the date as one day earlier. The root cause of this issue was the logic used for reading and writing date columns in DB2. The logic was implemented in order to ensure that the values in the column were both saved and retrieved in GMT time zone. However, when a java.sql.Date object was retrieved from the JDBC metadata, it was returned as the date value at the time of Midnight, and the time zone was set to the local time zone by the metadata (instead of the expected GMT time zone). When preparing to return this value, the Date object was formatted with reference to GMT, which causes the Date object to have an hour subtracted and report a date value that was one day less than expected. To fix this, the datetime logic for the Date columns has been modified to use a DateFormat object in the system's local time zone.

Deployment user privileges updated for upgrades
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When attempting to upgrade some installations, the upgrade script was failing while trying to determine the current PRPC version. This was caused by the deployment user lacking the DBA privileges to read/write the tables in the rules and data schema, and has been updated.
