Improved Page compare for page groups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Field level auditing on embedded properties sporadically did not report the "old" value when a property was modified even though the page was listed as "Modified". This has been resolved by adding logic to the pxComparePages algorithm to treat Lists and Groups differently. Now Page and Value Groups will use pxSubscript as the primary way to detect add and deletes.

Handling updated for switching between concrete and abstract class types
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring a non-templatized table with source as page list, with the page list property sourced to abstract class, a runtime exception was seen when loading the table that indicated "database.BadInputException: Cannot open or save instances of class Data-Orders-OrderDetails--the class might be abstract, or it might have no defined keys, or it might descend from Code-". When a class is created and saved as concrete, there is a checkbox "Automatically generate a unique ID for records of this type" which when checked will set pyAutogeneratedKey to false on the clipboard. If the Class is then later changed to abstract without unchecking the checkbox first, then the BadInputException error will manifest on the table at runtime. Investigation of the Edit Class ruleform found some scenarios where clipboard properties which have previously been set while Class type dropdown is set to Concrete can persist and cause the BadInputException seen when the class is switched to Abstract. This has been resolved.

All functions listed in decision trees
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
While configuring a decision tree, using the 'Function Allowed' dropdown resulted in the activity Rules-Alias-Function ListAliases throwing the error "Attempting to access a rule with a bad defined-on class: Trying to open rule "COMPARETWOVALUES" of class Rule-Alias-Function, but no defined-on class (pyClassName) was specified" while trying to remove the duplicates. After this error, both the original and the duplicate were removed instead of just the duplicates and an incomplete list was created. This was traced to an issue with the propagation of the pyClassName property to the OpenRuleAdvanced control in the pzAllowedFunctions section as part of passing "OtherKeyValuePairs", and has been resolved by passing the parameter values in the same control using a custom query.

Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.

Logic made consistent for design time group condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An inconsistency was seen between the logic string that appears when switching from "Group ORs" mode to "Use advanced logic" mode at design time, though whichever mode was used at Action check-in was always properly reflected on the generated proposition filter so there was no runtime impact. This design time issue was traced to the property "pyGroupConditionsByOld " being empty: this property is transient so its value will not be saved into database. This property should be updated whenever user changes the Logic operator from the drop-down, and this has been resolved by adding an intermediate property to hold the old group condition value when it changes.

Column width adjusted for Survey simple question text area
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a number of columns were entered in a simple question (Answer tab) for a text area, the width was not reduced or increased for the text area. This has been resolved by setting pySpecifyWidth to custom for textarea.

Corrected deleting a ruleset with the refactor wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In the case of Access Whens applied for the modification and deletion of any rule and data instance, the haveAccess() function was executed on a null page and resulted in a PRRuntimeError that caused Ruleset refactor to fail. This has been resolved.

MSOFileTransferButtons control withdrawn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.2 to 8.6, attempting to modify migrated delegated rules resulted in a 403 error. This was traced to the Download/Upload activities configured to use the MSOFileTransferButtons control: BAC restrictions were introduced in Pega 8.5, and the MSOFileTransferButtons control is not compliant with these. The MSOFileTransferButtons control has now been withdrawn. The FilePath Control should be used in conjunction with pxParseExcelFile to upload and parse the Excel along with using the pxGenerateExcelFile activity for download.

docx4j updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After generating a Word document using the pxGenerateWordDocument activity, opening the document resulted in a popup message indicating "Word found unreadable content". This was traced to an issue with docx4j version 8.2.6, and has been resolved by updating docx4j to version 8.3.1 .
