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.

Related cases of different types properly linked in Case Worker Portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After creating a case of type1 in the Case Worker portal, creating a case of type2 from the first case showed the case ID of the second case in the Related Work section as expected. However, after clicking on the link of the case ID of the second case from the related work section, the second case opened but the case ID of the first case was not shown in the Related work. The cases were correctly associated when the Case Manager portal was used instead. This was traced to the Case Worker clipboard continuing to hold the previous case ID thread, and has been resolved.

Check added to apply values of newAssignPage.pxFormName
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After upgrade, trying to open existing assignments resulted in a different harness being opened. This was traced to changes in how the property newAssignPage.pxFormName was used, and has been resolved by checking whether the harnesspurpose is dynamic before setting the pxFormName. If formname is already present, the system will proceed with picking the harness from the shape.

Unneeded class name filter removed from GetRelevantPropertiesForDataType
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Given one class with a set of properties and another class inherited from the first class containing a relevant records set for class 2, then a new harness did not show the base class fields. Investigation showed that the fields present in the parent class and marked relevant in the case were not being fetched due to pzGetRelevantPropertiesForDataType having a class name filter along with filter by rule resolution. To resolve this, the class name filter has been removed as it is not required due to the report already filtering by rule resolution and relevant class through a join.

Handling added for different access groups updating a case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When a parent flow was configured with a Wait shape to wait until any AccessChild case reached Pending-Authentication and then the “Update a case” shape was used to update the case status of child cases using a Data Transform, the Wait shape was being processed successfully but the child cases were not always updated as expected. This issue occurred when the cases were processed by users with different access groups, so the ProcessFlowDependencies agent processed the dependency. In this scenario, findPageByHandle returned an incorrect WorkPage because of the different access groups. To resolve this, pyLoadMyCasesNested Step-5 and pzProcessIndividualDepAssignment Step -13 now make additional checks to verify whether the page found by findPageByHandle API is a valid WorkPage or not.

Corrected row focus for deleting in App Studio case model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When attempting to delete a row of properties from the 2nd page of the data model of a case type while using App Studio, clicking on the delete icon brought up a dialog box asking for confirmation for deletion but at the same time the screen went back to the first page of the data model instead of remaining on the second page. Because of this, clicking on the OK button to confirm the deletion caused a random property from the first page to be deleted instead of the targeted row of the second page as expected. This was due to the refresh being triggered immediately within overlay UI actions, and has been resolved by updating the first trash icon action set for the section pzExpressFieldActions to be a modal instead of an overlay when launching local action.

Approved flow rule image unlocked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When the Approval Required check box was enabled for rulesets (i.e another person with access to this work queue should approve changes to the rules), a rule which was approved was unlocked and moved back to the original ruleset as expected, but the binary image associated with the flow rule remained locked and any other user other than the one who previously checked in the rule was denied access with a "check out failed" error. This locking error has been resolved by modifying the Rule-Obj-Flow!CleanUp activity to set Param.IgnoreInstanceLockedBy = true.
