Application wizard security updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
A user having PegaRULES:User1 role only was able to run the Create Application wizard until an authorization block was reached, yet some rules were created. No operator records were created as part of this process. This was traced to code left in place after the creation of pxAppConfig and pzAppConfig portals, and has been resolved. The New Application wizard UI will display a message to a user when they lack access to build a new application, and an error will be displayed for any attempt to create a new application directly via pzCreateNewApplication to address a scenario where a user might be trying to call the activity without the front end.

Adjusted validation of literal value of a parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When mapping a parameterized when rule to the proposition filter, parameters passed from the proposition filter page were not getting flown to the when rule. This was caused by special character validation for a literal value of a parameter which necessitated putting the parameter value within quotes and which resulted in a parameter value mismatch at run time. To support this use, this validation has been disabled as parameter values would not get included within quotes. This change does not have any impact on when rule or proposition filter rules java generation.

OpenRule logic updated for GetRuleInfo
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
The exception "InsufficientPrivileges:RuleExecutionDenied RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS PZGETRULEINFO" was thrown for some access groups when attempting to view a section from the end-user perspective on the Opportunity screen. Investigation showed this happened when a section had a table in which "Optimize code" was unchecked. If "Optimize code" was checked, then the exception was not thrown. This was traced to recent security changes in pzGetRuleInfo which affected the BAC registration process, and has been resolved by updating the way the openRule action registration logic invokes the activity.

Formulas corrected for GenerateExcelFile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, using pxGenerateExcelFile to generate an Excel file resulted in some formulas and values not displaying. This scenario used an Excel template with two tabs - one showing direct page values and the second displaying the calculated values of first sheet. In the exported file, the formula was not getting evaluated unless and until the cell was activated with the enter key. This is a known limitation, and a temporary solution has been made here to add parameters that force the formula evaluations on the saved Excel document when editing is turned on. A more complete solution will be included in the next patch release.

OpenRuleAdvanced updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After upgrade, the Update Page and Append and Map to step in Data transform was generating the error "No Server connection while giving page name to Target and Source". This was traced to the OpenRuleAdvanced_OverLabel control, and investigation showed that a variable was not being resolved when invoking pzEncryptURLActionString. This has been resolved by updating OpenRuleAdvanced and reimplementing two parameters as well as moving the call of these variables to the beginning of the script. Security has also been improved by moving some of the encryption to SafeUrls.

Security improvements for ApplicationInventory and Delete Class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
It was possible to call the activity "ApplicationInventory of class Rule-" by appending the activity name in the URL. To improve security, the ApplicationInventory activity and HTML rule have been removed from the system. In addition, it was possible to access the "delete class" screen and perform actions on top of it by directly appending the stream to the URL. This has been refactored so the screen will be presented only if the pzSystemOperationsAdministrator privilege is in the current access group.

ValueList/Group correctly appears on clipboard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After upgrade the property of type ValueList/Group was missing from the clipboard. This was traced to an extra 'when' rule applied on the visibility of Layout-2 in final section pzProperty (Pega-Desktop:08-02-01), and has been corrected.

Clipboard ExecuteActivity button updated to get classname
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
In Clipboard, clicking the execute activity button did not trigger any action in the backend. Investigation showed that previously the ID attribute for the HTML element used to be same as the property name, and the value of property "pyClassName" was found in the document.getElementById function. Due to work done to provide a feature that generates unique IDs for UI elements (auto generated controls), this must be done through other functions such as document.querySelector to get the value of the property from DOM. The necessary updates have now been made to the javascript function in control pzExecuteActivityButton.

Comments explicitly excluded from generated ruleset under localization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
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.

Corrected property mismatch in Create Eligibility condition builder
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
A parameter mismatch in Create Eligibility condition builder was resulting in properties not being offered in the dropdowns as expected when the top level page was not CaseTypeStages or this page did not exist on clipboard. This has been resolved by changing CaseTypeStages.pyClassName to ConditionsParamterPage.pyClassName in the pzSelectValues_FieldType section.
