Performance improvements for email listener processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Email processing was taking an excessive amount of time when a very large number of email listeners were running. Performance has been improved by updating the implementation of pzGetChannelByName to use obj-browse instead instead of looping through channels.

Rule-Message instances added for guardrail warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Log errors were seen when saving a rule in Dev Studio that generated a guardrail warning from the pzValidateFieldValueReference function. This was related to work done when the function "addwarning" was deprecated in favor of pxAddGuardrailMessage, and has been resolved by adding Rule-Message instances for pxFieldValueMaxLength, pxFieldValueConsecutiveSpaces, and pxFieldValueQuotesNotAllowed.

Handling added for autoclose of assignment in tabbed MDC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After configuring an Ajax container in a section using tabs and max doc defined as 8 with 'doClose' set after processing has been completed, finishing the assignment caused the work item tab to stop working. Checking the console showed a script error was being thrown. Investigation showed that when the doClose action was triggered and tried to find the activeTabs in MDC, the target element being fired was null. This has been resolved by adding a condition for the doClose to handle the combination of autoclose and tabbed MDC that will close the current Ajax container div before proceeding.

Added ability to support multiple domains for users
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

In order to support multiple domains for internal and external users, an enhancement has been adde so that given two domain values provided as comma-separated values in “MultiTenant/CrossTenant/DomainName” DSS setting, pzSetCrossTenantDomain will determine the correct domain value using pxRequestor.pxReqServer.

DateTime dropdown control will retain entry on validation error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
For a Date Time control with display mode as dropdownlist, choosing just a month or a day from the dropdown and refreshing the section resulted in an invalid date validation and the field being set to the current date. Choosing the date from the calendar icon or filling in all three drop downs worked as expected. This has been resolved by updating the datetime control so that if a dropdown mode with property as type DATE has a validation error on refresh action, the user-entered data will show in the dropdown instead of the current date/time.

Autocomplete correctly sets null values in clipboard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using an autocomplete control with display configuration "In a List", if a property value was null then the value of the property in the clipboard was set as “undefined”. This was due to the pzGetACData activity returning only properties with values and excluding empty properties, causing setProperty to use "undefined" when a property value was not found in the response. To resolve this, a condition has been added to the processAdditionalProperties method to replace an undefined value with an empty string.

Left navigation expansion made accessible for tab/keyboard actions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The left navigation "aside" DOM element did not expand if reached with the keyboard tab actions, but did with mouse hover. This has been resolved by updating the selectors for focus within left nav and updating the script to collapse the menu pyAutoCollapseLists section.

Improved performance for Repeat grid display
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade from Pega v7.2 to Pega v8.4, the Repeat grid was taking significantly longer to display the results. This was traced to changes made relating to BAC security that resulted in pzGridOpenAction trying to open each record to find the relevant pzInsHandle. Because this call is not actually required for Data- items, an update has been made to avoid this and improve performance.

Messages cleared from WorkPage so "load more" link works as expected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After being migrated, a link button script for "load more" in a repeating dynamic layer was not rendering more data on the UI if there was an error in pyworkpage. Refreshing the UI to clear the error and clicking the "load more" link then displayed the new set of Data. If no error occurred on pyworkpage, then clicking the "load more" worked the first time. This was traced to the success handler ignoring the response if there were errors on pyWorkPage, and has been resolved by updating the pzinvokerdlpreprocessing activity to add 'Page-Clear-Messages' as the first step.
