Handling added for summary columns in Export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
When a field has an aggregate function in Report Definition, the column alias changes and is not the same as the property name. The consequence is a mismatch between the result set column name and the property name from the property list created beforehand. This results in blank fields when using the "pxDownloadDataRecordsAsCSV" activity for Export to Excel. In order to support the export of summarized columns in Report Definition, an enhancement has been added that uses the column label as an alias for aggregate fields in the native SQL builder of the exportData API to form a map between the property name and the alias name and use it while iterating over the result set.

Memory leak repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
A server side memory leak was traced to heap utilization increasing due to a Stream control assembly problem where the CleanForReuse() function was not cleaning up pzAuto. The cleanForReuse method in generated HTML properties is used to either initialize local fields, in which case aContext will be non-null, or to clear the object for pooling, in which case aContext will be null. Because the pzAuto variable was not being properly nullified, pooled controls were retaining stale references to StreamTools, LayoutRuntime, PRThread, and others. This has been resolved by adding code to ensure the pzAuto variable is correctly nullified, and additional work has been done to improve memory management.

Removed unneeded table name calculation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After giving short names (less than 30 characters) for "To Table", saving did not produce an error, but an error was thrown during Check In. Investigation showed that while checking in the extract rule, a block of code in the Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties was being executed to recompute the pagelist's table name instead of using the name provided by the user. To resolve this, the RUF has been modified to not execute this block of code during check-in of the extract rule. The validation will be seen during save if the 'To field' has more than 30 characters.

Backspace keydown handler updated for all textinput modes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Attempting to use the Backspace key to remove input from a number cell (either Integer or Decimal) did not work. When the action was performed by a Manager, the Backspace key works as expected. Investigation showed the logic in the keydown handler for the backspace key in pega_report_events.js was only ignoring the e.preventDefault() call when the textinput node type was text, not number or other input types. To correct this, the keydown handler has been updated so the backspace key in pega_report_events.js maintains the default backspace functionality for all textinput modes, not just those of type 'text'.

Special characters escaped for use in "is in List" lookups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After creating a specific criterion on any proposition using a string property, the "Is In List" operator, and a customer list with one value containing a "$", clicking save or check in resulted in the exception error "Problem invoking function: pega_decisionengine_propositionfilterfua.pzPropositionFilterMethodBody--(PublicAPI,ClipboardPage) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Matcher.java:857) ". This has been resolved by escaping regular expression control characters in string replacement, which will allow the use of characters such as the $ sign for "is in List" lookups.

Accessibility improvements for Cosmos
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, some UI changes were seen in Cosmos that could impact accessibility. These included the left panel for the portal can be folded, but the arrow/Icon to fold this pane shows only when you hover over with it with the mouse; on the same portal, Submit and Cancel buttons are displayed at the bottom of the screen as a sticky menu over the long form instead of the previous behavior of being at the bottom of the form; and that the sticky menu partially covered the bottom of the form's functionality. These have been resolved by updating the selectors to make the collapsible icon accessible using keyboard and by removing the sticky behavior for the case action area buttons in the perform harness.
