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.

Corrected password comparison handling for CopyMerge Ruleset Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When running the CopyMerge Ruleset Wizard, entering the password failed with the error "pyPassword: Invalid Password for" Temp:01-01-01 for each ruleset. Investigation showed that the system was calling an activity which encrypted the user input, causing the comparison with the stored password of the system to fail the match. This has been resolved by removing the extra encryption so the call to the comparison evaluates correctly.

Handling added for application which includes production ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When creating the Email channel or Webchat channel, the Text Analyzer and its respective class (Data-Decision-Request-MCP-WebChat-xxxxx) was being saved in the ruleset of the built-on application while there were rulesets open in the top application. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating the logic to account for the scenario where an application includes a production ruleset.

Formulas corrected for GenerateExcelFile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, using pxGenerateExcelFile to generate an Excel file resulted in some formulas and values not displaying. This scenario used an Excel template with two tabs - one showing direct page values and the second displaying the calculated values of first sheet. In the exported file, the formula was not getting evaluated unless and until the cell was activated with the enter key. This is a known limitation, and a temporary solution has been made here to add parameters that force the formula evaluations on the saved Excel document when editing is turned on. A more complete solution will be included in the next patch release.

Dragon successfully navigates to user profile icon
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Attempting to navigate to the user profile icon when using Dragon software was not working. This is an issue with how Dragon interacts with the "< I >" element operator icon, and has been resolved by replacing "< i >" with a button and appropriate aria label.

Circumstance Definition rules save correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, attempting to save any circumstance definition that used multiple "or" conditions consistently failed during conflict detection. This was an inadvertent side effect of work done to resolve an out of memory error and has been resolved by modifying the Rule-Declare-!testConsistency java step:"int numRows = numOrs;" to"int numRows = numSubRows;".

Handling added for identical property and page names in test case recording
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When trying to record a test case, the error "WrongModeException: The property PostProsSnapOfWorkpage.Name was of mode String while com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.clipboard.ClipboardPropertyImpl.getPageValue() was expecting Page mode" was generated. This was an edge case caused by property and page names being the same on the "PostProsSanpOfWorkPage" page, and has been resolved by accessing the page with the full path so it has the proper prefix.
