Improved search for instances with null property values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
OneOf filters for a newly introduced property were failing when applied to elasticsearch query. Investigation showed that because a property is created only when the system encounters an instance with a non-empty value for the first time, none of the instances had a value for this property and hence mapping was not generated in elasticsearch. To facilitate searches, an update has been made that will populate a value in one of the instances belonging to the class type so that elasticsearch mapping is generated during indexing of the instance.

Report Definition now searches encrypted properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When using a section in table sourced from a report definition where one of the filter condition properties used was an encrypted property, running the report gave the correct result based on the filter condition but running the case and passing the encrypted property as a parameter to search did not produce the correct result. No data was displayed in the table sourced from the report definition. Because the encryption was done on the parameter string but not the value referenced by parameter, when a report definition is used as a data source for a table, the filter applied on an encrypted property is dropped in the final SQL statement that's generated, leading to incomplete or wrong results to the report. This has been resolved by moving the encryption logic to RuntimeResolver.

Export to Excel works for for report definition with duplicate columns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding a date column to a report definition (2nd column in the report), the data displayed correctly in the UI but Export to Excel failed with the error "Section 'pzRDExportWrapper' execution error on page '' of class 'Rule-Obj-Report-Definition'. : The Reference .pyDateValue(2) is not valid." This was traced to an out of bounds exception thrown if there were two or more columns with the same calculation. When preparing for export, the column with the duplicate calculation would not get added to the map of report UI fields. To resolve this, the system has been updated to allow report definition columns with the same calculation to be properly mapped to a UI field.

Handling added for drag-and-drop with deleted report templates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding a new report, an error appeared when trying to use drag-and-drop to add a column (Page List) from the Data Explorer in the report browser. This was traced to refactor work done to use the Record API throughout reporting: the ruleset on new reports was not being reset from a Pega- ruleset to an application ruleset, causing columns the referenced properties defined outside the platform to be rejected. This use case was missed because case types define their own report templates on creation, but in this scenario those had been deleted. To resolve this, the system has been updated to call pxChooseBestRuleset from pxShowReport in order to enable the use of properties defined in the application prior to saving the report.

Corrected report with combo chart in Case Manager portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding the required columns a report in the report viewer and then adding a combo chart and dropping the summarized column on the y-axes and group by column on X-axis, clicking on "done editing" generated the error "pyUI.pyChart: You must have at least two Aggregate Columns in the chart series .pyUI.pyChart.pyDataAxis(1).pyChartOutputType: A Combo chart requires at least 1 Chart Type be a Column". Investigation showed that the second DataAxis page was getting deleted in the pzCleanChartDataAxis activity, causing the validation to fail. This has been resolved by adding a 'when' rule to "pzChartIsSingleY" that checks for "SingleYAxisClustered" chart and refers the same in pzCleanChartDataAxis to skip the data axis deletion.

Repaired History class report column sorting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Attempting to sort any of the columns in a report using the History class did not render the results and the error "Cannot render the section" appeared. Tracer showed a Fail status for some OOTB activities with the message "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException". Investigation showed the logic in pzMergeAutoGenForProp activity was failing because the pyIsFunction property was not set on the UIField pages for function columns. To resolve this, the logic for pzMergeAutoGenForProp has been modified to get pyIsFunction from the field name.

Backspace keydown handler updated for all textinput modes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Attempting to use the Backspace key to remove input from a number cell (either Integer or Decimal) did not work. When the action was performed by a Manager, the Backspace key works as expected. Investigation showed the logic in the keydown handler for the backspace key in pega_report_events.js was only ignoring the e.preventDefault() call when the textinput node type was text, not number or other input types. To correct this, the keydown handler has been updated so the backspace key in pega_report_events.js maintains the default backspace functionality for all textinput modes, not just those of type 'text'.

Improved handling against formula injection attacks in Export to ExcelJJ
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Every time a possibly vulnerable cell value was found during Export to Excel, the value on that cell was modified to prevent a formula injection attack. If the value was non numeric, it would still render an apostrophe, although it should be hidden. Previous work on this issue involved the addition of a DSS which allowed this security to be disabled if the Excel was going to be consumed by an external tool, but the security implementation used to protect against calculation injection has reworked the ExcelSecurity utility function to allow the ability to change the cell style of a cell that is potentially vulnerable to formula injection attacks. This change no longer changes the cell value but instead applies a new cell style that has quotePrefix enabled.
