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.

Keyboard shortcuts work in Decision Trees
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Keyboard short cuts in Decision Trees used to copy/paste by holding ctrl button in Decision Trees were not working. This was an unintended side effect related to changing non-auto grid to an auto-generated hierarchical table to make the Decision tree rule form multi-browser compatible, and has been resolved by adding cut/copy/paste/insert-after/insert-before functionality to the decision tree context menu.

Handling added for application which includes production ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When creating the Email channel or Webchat channel, the Text Analyzer and its respective class (Data-Decision-Request-MCP-WebChat-xxxxx) was being saved in the ruleset of the built-on application while there were rulesets open in the top application. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved byupdating the logic to account for the scenario where an application includes a production ruleset.

Logic updated to handle decision trees over 64k
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
An exception was thrown when decision trees reached the 64K size limit. This has been resolved by modifying the logic in the DecisiontableMethodBody Rule-Utility-Function where the split size PropRowLimit is based on the number of columns.

Decision Trees refresh after updating a new row
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Updating a decision tree row did not display the updated data until after save and refresh. This was traced to the first row not meeting the condition for refresh on change because the first row was created as part of the decision tree creation, so the data was not persisted and the update was not registered as a change. This has been resolved by adding explicit handling for the first row to persist its expression string and show the data as entered.

Guided tour popups handling added for right-to-left language locales
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
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.

pyStatusWork for parent case correctly resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
pyStatusWork was not getting updated for the parent case even though the case passed through the resolution stage. This was an unintended side effect of work done regarding resolving a subcase if it was opened from the review harness, and has been resolved by updating the findPageByHandle activity to return the correct page when there are multiple pages with the same key.
