Accessibility improvements for Cosmos Case Life Cycle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Keyboard navigation has been updated to improve accessibility for the case life cycle component. For the "Show stages with expandable steps" configuration, code has been added to hide the steps container when tabbing through the stages. For the "Show stages with steps as overlay" configuration, the "Use form navigation (by tab)" option has been enabled for every repeating dynamic layer inside the steps overlay.

Switch from Pega base64 utility to java.util.Base64.getEncoder
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
An on-premises Web Application Firewall (WAF) was interpreting the characters "%0a" in the Pega auto-generated URL as an "HTTP Response Splitting" attack. As a result communications were intercepted and a 403-error screen was shown. In addition, the characters %250A were interpreted as LF (line feed) or \n in the refreshFor hash generation. To resolve this, an update has been made to use java.util.Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString instead of the Pega base64 utility.

Removed incorrect field validation errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When integer controls in a section were configured as required field, clicking on the field but not entering any value resulted in the prompt for the required field validation "Value cannot be blank", and any attempts to add a positive integer using number keypad after that resulted in the repeated validation error. This has been resolved by updating pzpega_control_textinput.

Input from Microsoft Windows keyboard numpad enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After entering a currency amount using the right side number pad keys on a Microsoft Windows keyboard, a mandatory field validation was being thrown on what appeared to be a correct input. This was due to an if condition in the keyup function that caused entries from the right side number keys to not be considered as input, and has been resolved by removing the condition from the pzpega_control_textinput file.

Ensured correct context for multi-select
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When using multi-select controls, there was an intermittent issue with selecting values using a mouse click. Using the tab key worked as expected. This was traced to the focus being event triggered multiple times so pega.ctx.dom returned undefined values in the second call.This has been resolved by focusing the target element before creation of capsule to ensure the context remains the same.

DOM Purifier updated to allow new tags
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Snippets were visible after being added and published, but after editing the same content ID it was converted to a text file. This was traced to the DOM Purifier plugin removing tags which were not in default list, and has been resolved by adding the ADD_TAGS option in the DOM purifier to accept tags.

Iteration method updated for SetRequiredSkillsCountColumn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, database utilization spiked and did not drop. Investigation traced this to the use of Local.totalCount in pzSetRequiredSkillsCountColumn, which caused the iteration loop to run more times than necessary. This has been resolved by replacing Local.totalCount with Local.iterationsCount in the iteration.

Improved accessibility for Disclosable Documents/attach files/auto selection dropdowns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using Dragon for accessibility, issues were seen when trying to select different options in the dropdowns related to attaching multiple files. This was caused by the legacy grids being used not supporting this type of accessibility functionality, and has been resolved by updating pzAttachFileDDFileList to use an optimized table instead.

Field Level Audit updated to handle hierarchical properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Field Audit was not working for the first change of the data selected/provided for a field. The audit was only reflected after the second change was made. When the property involved a series of hierarchies, for example pageprop.pagelist(1).pageprop, the FLA objects will initially use deferred saves and the generated pzinskeys will be added to a savedFLAMap object. However, when the last pageprop was not eligible to save, all the deferred saves of earlier records were cancelled but the inskeys were not removed from the savedFLAMap object. Because of this, the parent FLA records were assumed to have been saved already when those saves were actually deferred. This was a missed use case for hierarchical properties, and has been resolved by adding an update to remove the inskeys from the savedFLAMap object so that in the subsequent property change the audit's FLA records for the parent properties (pageprop.pagelist(1)) will be saved again.

GetChildcases handling updated for large numbers of cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When a very high number of child cases being processed contained a wait shape that was dependent on the movement of a parent case, some of the cases were moved to the next step of the flow automatically while others required a manual command to ResumeFlow. In extreme cases where many child cases were waiting, a node crash could occur. This was traced to the pzGetChildcases report having a maximum value of 500 lines, and has been resolved by increasing the maximum number of rows to retrieve to 9999 in the Data Access Tab of the pzGetChildCases report definition. In addition, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified to perform with a higher number of cases, and DSS(MaxRecords) logic has been added to split the child cases into multiple queue items for each access group to decrease load on each thread process.
