Decision Table check-in warnings supported for large tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After adding an empty row in the middle of Decision Table rows and checking in, the Decision table rule's CheckIn form shows a functionality warning about a conflict in decision table ("This rule contains 1 logic conflict(s). Click the 'Show Conflicts' button for more details."). However, this behavior did not occur as expected if the decision table had more than 500 cells in it, and has now been resolved.

Expression Builder updated for special character handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
If a modulo operator (%) was used in expression builder, the expression showed the correct value when it was submitted (closed) but on reopen the expression was changed and not calculated correctly. If the expression was not reopened then it calculated the value properly. This issue was traced to a server call to pzEvaluatePegaExpression which treated certain values as containing special characters, and has been resolved by updating the handling for this scenario.

Decision table null input handling updated for backward compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After upgrade, any null values as inputs in the decision tables were skipped if "Allow Missing properties" was not checked. This behavior was different from previous versions. In order to improve backward compatibility, the new function pxEvaluateDecisionTable has been added which has an additional parameter to set AllowMissingProperties, and the older function logic has been modified to take the parameter value from the parameter page.

Support added for connect-SOAP run in parallel mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When connect-SOAP was configured to use the “run in parallel” mode, application settings derived through a datapage had incorrect values. While running the connect-SOAP through an activity, all the values were derived incorrectly. This has been resolved by adding a synchronization enhancement to support parallel run connect.SOAP.

Mobile logging updated for data page required parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After upgrade, the number of warnings increased substantially in the mobile app log file for D_Pages, specifying "Required parameter X for data page X cannot be blank." This was traced to the forced logging related to missing required parameters for Parameterized DataPages during DeltaSyncs. In order to increase the value of the logging, the process has been moved from being called before packaging the Data Page to being printed later in packaging code and set to warn only about any unsupported data page configuration with required parameters.

Field Service mobile refresh timing updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
A configuration in the Field Service mobile app used to select and map data from a modal section to a wrapper section used "pega.fsm.mobileutil.reloadSection" to refresh the wrapper section and make the data visible after the mapping. If the refresh was performed after the initial login, the refresh was done on only a portion of the screen and resulted in incorrect data being shown to the user. However, continuing to fill in the section and then saving and reopening the task displayed the correct results. The issue was reproducible only on the first attempt after clearing cache/date: subsequent uses refreshed properly. This was traced to the timing of the configured actions, which caused the refreshSection action to be triggered before the runDataTransform action execution was completed. This has been resolved by adding code that will pause the action queue until the runDataTransform action completed.

Corrected runtime name length check for custom fields to resolve logged error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
The error "Notification_MobilePush.Action ERROR - Can't parse JSON string to map" was being frequently logged. Investigation showed that in the Step8 activity in pySendNofication from Pega-Notification-MobilePush class, setting @String.length(customFields)>0 where customFields was a local value caused the runtime length check on customFields to fail. To resolve this, the Step8 activity in pySendNofication from Pega-Notification-MobilePush class has been modified from using @String.length(customFields)>0 to use @String.length(Local.customFields)>0.
