Handling added for angle brackets in legacy Chart control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When using Investigative Case Management, some report charts were not rendering correctly. This has been resolved by updating appendFormattedString in AbstractJsonDataGenerator.java to escape angled brackets (< and >) before appending the input.

Resolved drill up doubling the filter box
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When opening a report with a visual graph, clicking on one of the filtered options, leaving this box open (not submitting it) and then clicking on a bar in the visual graph of the report showed the contents of the graph, but then clicking on the report link to go back to the report overview caused a doubled filter box to be displayed. The report would then have to be reopened before being able to continue. The problem was that the value of .pyUI.pyConfigSecToShow was still set to "filter" after the drill down. When the drill back up happened, the report was trying to show the filter configuration section from before but the context was no longer available and it failed. This has been resolved by adding a call to pzCancelFilterLogicChanges in pzDrillUpReport to set the filters to the previous values and reset the value of pyConfigSecToShow.

Shortcut works for copying reports into private rulesets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Copying out of the box shortcuts to other categories in the Report Browser was failing with the error ".pyShortcutName: The rule name pyTimePerStage is a reserved name (starts with px, py, or pz) and is not created in a Pega- ruleset." This was caused by the system trying to create a new rule with a py prefix in a non pega- ruleset, which was a missed use case in the refactoring work of report actions to use the Record API. This has been corrected by moving the report ID generation logic from the activity pzValidateSaveAsInput to a new Rule-Utility-Function in the ReportingUtils library called pzGenerateUniqueRecordName so that it can also be used by pzCopyShortcutPostActivity7 when the shortcut's ID is prefixed with px, py, or pz.

The Report Resource Limit is applied on Job Scheduler
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
The Job Scheduler was ignoring the application-wide limit for maximum number of rows to retrieve that was set on the Report > Settings landing page. If the limit was set on the Data Access tab of the report, it was honored. If it was set on the Application settings rule Pega-RulesEngine.pyMaxRecords it was not honored. This behavior was due to pzUpdateSystemSettings being called by pxRetrieveReportData. In pzUpdateSystemSettings, .pyContent.pyMaxRecords was updated to match the value in px.Requestor.pyReportSettings.pyMaxRecords. In some cases, that was not available and the max amount of records was not limited in that case. This has been resolved by updating pzUpdateSystemSettings to pull pyMaxRecords using @getRuleSystemSetting().

Column formatting default added to Export to Excel to match Export to PDF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After running the pyGetWorkHistory report in Designer Studio, exporting the report to PDF showed the correct data format for the Message Key column while exporting to Excel did not. In the Report Definition UI and in Export to PDF (which use the same logic), when the backing property of a column has no control and the column does not have a format, the control falls back to a "Default" control. The "Default" control localized the string values in the Report Definition UI and Export to PDF, therefore changing the Message Key to be the correct value in those places. The similar logic to explicitly handle the "no control" scenario has now also been added to Export to Excel to resolve this issue.

Corrected viewing of sorted drill-down spreadsheet-style summary reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When using a report with a summarized column and the 'Do not display group headings' grouping option checked, drill down was not working when the report was primarily sorted by default on any column other than the first one. This manifested as either no results returned by the drill down report or an error message related to invalid filter values. This was traced to the unique column ordering logic for non-spreadsheet-style summary reports being applied to the drilldown of spreadsheet-style summary reports due to the logic for creating the drilldown filters using the != operator to compare the spreadsheet flag string to the string constant "true". This previously worked as expected because this string was interned in the engine, but these string internments have since been removed. To correct this, pzPopulateReport has been updated to appropriately recognize spreadhseet-style summary reports as they used to.

Alphabetical sort function restored to Legacy Report Browser
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When the new report browser was introduced in Pega Platform 8.1 the sorting functionality was changed to sort by update time instead of the previous behavior of sorting alphabetically. This change to the logic behind sorting reports ended up applying not only to the new report browser but to the legacy report browser as well, eliminating the ability to use an alphabetized sort for both. This fix re-adds the functionality to sort reports alphabetically by adding selectable sorting capability to the legacy report browser that enables switching between sorting reports by update time and sorting alphabetically.

Report name in tab uses localization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After creating a field value with field name as pyCaption to localize the report definition name, the title in the report definition tab was not translated. This was traced to Step 1 of the activity displayReport using an old localization function, and has been resolved by changing the localization of document title to use pyCaption.

RRDisplaySection made available to assist Edge compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When the Pega Platform was being used with Microsoft Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode ON, it was not possible to use the select filter gadget due to a browser compatibility issue: enabling the filter condition for the report definition caused the SelectValues button to stick in loading mode when clicked. Changing the Microsoft Internet Explorer Document Mode for Harness pzRRDisplaySection to IE=Edge corrected the issue, but the rule was final. To resolve this, the pzRRDisplaySection has been made available to allow override for customers still using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
