Added error handling for passivated dashboard tab
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If the dashboard tab has been ide for 30 minutes or more, clicking on links on the tab generated 'not found' errors and NPE exceptions . This failure was traced to the passivation process, which does not save read-only pages and has been resolved by modifying change tracker logic to not send null values when read-only data page is not present.

Added handling for property-defined declare value list indexing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When adding or updating entries in a value list, the corresponding index entries were not getting created in the database. This was caused by handling that was missing from the minimum feature string clipboard properties that were recently introduced for better performance. These strings get created when it's not a reference property and has no declaratives defined etc. In this case, a declare index that is defined on the value list property should not have those elements be minimum feature properties. To correct this, the code has been changed to pass the featureID of the parent property.

Stale thread issue resolved and logging updated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The error "com.pega.pegarules.pub.context.StaleThreadError: Thread has been recycled" was appearing sporadically in the log files. The root cause was traced to the usage daemon, and has been resolved by changing the logic such that while capturing usage data, the system will avoid setting the last thread as processing thread while taking requestor lock. This avoids usage of a stale thread. Additionally, a change was made to avoid repeated logging of a stale thread error while creating a PRException object when exception occurs do occur due to a stale thread.

CheckInCandidates rule issue resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When checking in a rule via the rule Check-in Approval process, it was not possible to add rows. The problem was traced to the approved request being returned from the workbasket with the "Allowed to update row layout" checkbox unchecked. When check-ins are done via the Rule Approval process, the checked-in rule's copy is read from the database: however, due to the property 'pyAllowedToChangeRowsStr' incorrectly being left marked as transient for the Check-in Approval process, the property was not retrieved from database if that process was used. To correct this, 'pyAllowedToChangeRowsStr' property has been unmarked as transient.

Edit in Excel now handles 'HTTPOnly'
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After implementing 'HTTPOnly', Decision Table Edit in Excel was not working. Attempting to use it caused the system to stall for a few seconds while the label color was orange, and then the text color on the button went back to black but no Excel file popped up. This was found to be caused by the lack of a null check in case of HTTPOnly cookies in the edit_in_excel js function, and this has now been added.
