Adjusted validation of literal value of a parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
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 8.5.2
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.

Exported Excel from Decision Table wraps correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, entries were displayed in a single line on exporting a decision table to Excel despite WrapText cell formatting being set. This was traced to the WrapText cell formatting set under the UpdateGridCells() function being overridden inside an addDataFormat() function callas part of DecisionTableWorkBookConverter.java. This has been resolved by adding the new function "setWorkAreaCellStyles" and calling it after generateWorkbook() function call of super class (AbstractWorkBookConverter.java).

Updated UpdateDateTime handling for branch merge SaveAs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After Pega API's standard branch/merge service was consumed, the service was not returning response as expected due to the system encountering listing conflicts on the branch merge. The error "a rule in lower version has been updated more recently than when the checkout was created" was generated. This has been resolved by updating the Record API (pxUpdateRecord / pxCheckIfStale) to handle setting pxMergedSynchronized property to the pxUpdateDateTime of the base rule instance when doing a Save As into a branch ruleset from a non-branch ruleset / non personal ruleset. Please note - this fix is only applicable to Record API SaveAs, and will not work if customized logic is used to perform the SaveAs.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Performance issues were seen with the pzOperatorsByWorkGroup report definition. This was traced to the report definition is adding an UPPER function for edit filter properties which caused it to take more time to run when combined with an ignore case check in the filters of the RD.
