Detection added for custom work history tables
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In order to fully embrace mobile capabilities, columns were added to the work history tables to allow actions to be tracked as a geographical map where each history event is a numbered locale indicator on a map instead of a row of entries. From lat/long it is also possible to call a Google service and get the street address as well. However, this functionality caused some issues post-migration with if there were customized pc_history_work tables mapped to custom classes. To remedy this, a check has been added to only query for pxlatitude/pxlongitude if columns are exposed and shown, and that will detect if the columns aren't present.

Access Role Editor link errors fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When using IE11 or Google Chrome, clicking on the hyperlink to a privilege associated with a class in Access Role Editor created issues that prevented changes from being made or saved. In some cases, after clicking 'Remove Checked' in the popup dialog, the developer portal loaded in the popup. This was caused by the forms-based role selection not being converted for cross-browser support, and has been fixed.

Enhanced task queue handling for custom applications
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In some situations, a custom agent would periodically fall over when processing a large backlog of queued items. This was caused by an exception thrown when placing a task in the queue when it is already present. The system has been updated to better handle this situation and allow agents to continue to execute with the present schedule when a duplicate task is found.

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.
