Updated logging for "Obfuscated URL tampering" errors
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
The error "pegarules.util.URLObfuscation) ERROR - Obfuscated URL tampering - unable to derive cleartext data" was being logged when the "cookie/HttpOnly" parameter was set. This was traced to the unobfuscating of data failing at the server end, and the loggers have been updated to print requestor data for better diagnostics.

Fixed improper ID carryover after reset all loggers
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
When a user reset the logs, the same user ID was then being populated in the log entries of master agent and requestor lock exceptions from that point on even when the exceptions were from other users. This was due to the username not being cleared correctly after the reset all loggers operation is done, and to fix this, the reset all loggers functionality has been changed such that no data from main thread is copied onto the child thread(the dispatcher thread).

Fixed Multiselect grid drag and drop
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.1
When using MultiSelectList Control, if a value was selected and then 'submit' was used to populate the Grid's data, dragging and dropping the Grid's row to some other workbasket did not work. This happened because the clipboard calls the remove property with a symbolic delete when doing a drag and drop. While processing this delete, if the mode of property was unknown the system was unable to look up the property definition in the dictionary, and an exception occurred. To fix this, handling has been added to lookup the definition of the property if it is unknown before removing it.

Exported Excel from Decision Table wraps correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, entries were displayed in a single line on exporting a decision table to Excel despite WrapText cell formatting being set. This was traced to the WrapText cell formatting set under the UpdateGridCells() function being overridden inside an addDataFormat() function callas part of DecisionTableWorkBookConverter.java. This has been resolved by adding the new function "setWorkAreaCellStyles" and calling it after generateWorkbook() function call of super class (AbstractWorkBookConverter.java).

Updated UpdateDateTime handling for branch merge SaveAs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After Pega API's standard branch/merge service was consumed, the service was not returning response as expected due to the system encountering listing conflicts on the branch merge. The error "a rule in lower version has been updated more recently than when the checkout was created" was generated. This has been resolved by updating the Record API (pxUpdateRecord / pxCheckIfStale) to handle setting pxMergedSynchronized property to the pxUpdateDateTime of the base rule instance when doing a Save As into a branch ruleset from a non-branch ruleset / non personal ruleset. Please note - this fix is only applicable to Record API SaveAs, and will not work if customized logic is used to perform the SaveAs.
