Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Upcase case shape will fall back to pyWorkCover if multiple pages are present
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In the Update a Case shape, selecting "A Single Case" and providing .pxCoveredInsKeys(1) for the With ID field worked as expected, but using the same data transform and selecting either "All child cases and descendants" or a specific child case resulted in no update on the children. This was traced to the findPageByHandle API not returning the most appropriate page, which created an issue whenever multiple pages were present in the clipboard. To correct this, the system has been updated to use pyWorkCover if present.

Custom routing configured in early Pega versions will be mapped to custom on upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, a configured custom routing option under assignment properties was missing in all assignments. This has been resolved by updating pzUpdateRouting with a condition that will take assignments configured in Pega 6 versions and map them to 'custom'.

Route to configuration in the approval flow accepts Specific User parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Route to configuration in the approval flow was not accepting a parameter value/property value when select Specific User option from drop down was chosen. This was traced to unique ID change work done in the 8.2 release: the pzSimpleApproval section has two controls (DropDown for Participant & AutoComplete for Operator) configured on same property pyOperatorToAssign with "run visibility on client configuration), and when the control value was being changed in the AutoComplete control, the empty value of DropDown control was being posted to the clipboard. To correct this, the section Work-.pzSimpleApproval has been modified to remove performing run-visibility conditions at client side. Instead, the system will use the ".pyApproverType Changes" condition to refresh the wrapper DL which contains the routeTo type Operator/WB/Participant property controls.

Comments explicitly excluded from generated ruleset under localization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
A generated URL link from Correspondence Fragment (WorkLink) which was saved in Pega-ProCom_ja was incorrect due to an incomplete URL. The ruleset Pega-ProCom_ja is not provided from the platform, but is generated when using localization. In this case, a comment fragment was included in the rule when it was generated, causing the issue. To resolve this, comment handling has been updated to ensure it's not included when generating the rule.

Guided tour popups handling added for right-to-left language locales
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Guided Tour Popups were still appearing in the default EN location after switching to the ar_AR locale. This was traced to a missed use case for locales using a right-to-left mode such as Arabic or Hebrew, and has been resolved by updating the guided tour engine openPopOver function to account for the HTML tag dir attribute for value of "rtl". This will anchor the pop over to rightBottom / and display the arrow on the rightTop instead of leftBottom / leftTop.

Reusable assets default option populated correctly for new application
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When creating an application with at least two case types where each case type belonged to different class groups and pointed to different tables but were configured to have only one work pool, operator work pool values for pxThread and pxRequestor did not correctly reflect the different access group settings. This was traced to the inheritance of default values when the portal pyPortal.pyDesktopType was set to Composite, which caused the system to always take the value from the work pools in the application whether or not it was the same value as specified. A check has now been added so that the system will only default to using the value from the work pool if no value has been specified.

Exception handling added for upgraded custom decision tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, the status fail message "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator" appeared with a blue screen in the Run window when attempting to run a Decision table from Actions-> Run option. This impacted the ability to create unit test cases. Analysis showed the issue occurred for any decision table where "Evaluate All rows" was enabled and list properties were used in Actions if there was no value for the list property after the execution of decision table. This was traced to a NullPointerException in a RunRuleFromPage activity in a customized in PUnit ruleset, and was caused by having list properties in the actions of a decision table that had not been populated during rule execution. Exception handling has been added to resolve this.
