Handling added for special characters for track changes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After entering inverted commas ["] inside a text box configured with post value and 'refresh this section' actions, focusing out of it caused the UI to freeze. A JSON parse issue was seen in the browser console, which was traced to the domelement API not having handling for special characters in the HTML code. This has been resolved.

Logic updated for adding new child/sibling to hierarchical paginated tree/grid
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using a hierarchical table with pagination enabled, navigating to the last page and attempting to add a new child or sibling produced unexpected results. Navigating to the last row, selecting child, and clicking 'add sibling' caused a new row to be added. Adding a child caused the child elements to be added on top instead of at the bottom. This was a missed use case for adding a child/sibling when using a paginated tree/tree grid, and has been resolved.

Updated accessibility for Rich Text Editor navigation in a modal dialog
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When navigating through a Rich Text Editor while in a modal dialog, it was expected that once focus was brought to the Rich Text Editor Toolbar (Alt+F10), pressing Escape on the keyboard would bring the focus back into the Rich Text Editor text area and the cursor would appear. However, when this Rich Text Editor was within a modal dialog, pressing Escape closed the modal dialog entirely. This has been resolved by updating the code to stop the Escape key event propagation from the Rich Text Editor toolbar when in a modal dialog.

Corrected custom portal JUMP condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrading Pega from 8.3 to 8.4, a custom portal was not correctly rendering the stream although the activity was getting executed and the clipboard had all the necessary data. This was traced to a syntax error in work done earlier that placed the JUMP condition (.pyDesktopType=="Custom") in ShowDesktop at the pzPopulateRequestor call step, and has been corrected.

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.

The icon control has also been updated to set accessibility roles based the following:if actions are configured -> role=button if no actions are configured -> role=img if type is url/phone/email -> role=link

Added ability to support multiple domains for users
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Previously, the DSS setting MultiTenant/CrossTenant/DomainName supported just a single domain. 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.
