Clarified messages for attachment deletion failure
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When trying to delete an attachment on the work item without proper authorization, the tracer shows a message being added on TempAttachmentPage in Work- DeleteAttachment activity reading "You are not authorized to delete instance DATA-WORKATTACH-FILE ATPEGA-TASK ". However, this message was not being propagated to the screen and the screen was refreshing as if it worked despite the failure. To clarify the actual results, the DeleteAttachment Activity has been modified to present any messages and to avoid page removal of the TempAttachmentPage and TempLinkPage if there is a message.

Clarified handling of unlocked work objects in multinode environments
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Release lock was not working correctly on a multinode environment. When trying to release the lock from same operator different requestor from different nodes, the error "Unable to unlock this work object" was generated. In a multinode environment, system pulse takes time to update the cache across the nodes, hence the option is not effective immediately. Messaging has been updated to reflect this delay. Once System pulse executes then other requestor will be able to work on this item.

Addressed issue with Advanced Notes attachments reopening the work object
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a user attaches a note using the "Advanced" option, as part of the out-of-the-box activity it is recreating/retrieving the work object back from the database and causing any changes to the work object done prior to attachment to be lost. The issue was that the SaveNote activity InsHandle parameter was set but the PageName parameter was not, and the system would reopen the workobject assuming it was not in the workobject context. To solve this, the PageName parameter is now set in the SaveNote activity so that the AttachNote does not do an open of the workpage.

FCM remote case type function restored
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
FCM (Federated Case Management) has a button to discover remote case type, but attempting to use it out-of-the-box generated the error "Remote System is not available. Please check the settings". This was due to a lack of authentication in the Service HTTP rules CaseManagement, and the authentication requirement has been removed.

Clicking checkboxes smoothed for Bulk Processing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
While performing Bulk Processing, if the checkboxes used to select items for processing were marked in rapid succession, not all of the selected items were processed by the bulk action. This was due to the timing of the refresh on the boxes, and this has been adjusted so all boxes are refreshed by a refresh list instead of post value process.

Added handling for unauthenticated asynchronous SOAP service
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After implementing changes to work around an error with SOAP authentication, the unauthenticated asynchronous SOAP service generated an error and failed to complete. This was due to the changes to the authentication process omitting the asynchronous mode case when a SOAP service that intended to not use authentication ends up calling a sub-activity that requires authentication. This use case is now covered.

Flow name labels draw from proper cache
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A flow name label was taking the short description of the starting flow in the class group and appending the class names to it after the parenthesis. This has been corrected by ensuring the code is fetching from the correct cache to populate the label.
