Deprecated NewWorkGadget registered for BAC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Logging in through the Administrator portal and launching a new project resulted in a blank screen. Investigation traced this to the Create New Work action called in the NewWorkGadget control; because the NewWorkGadget is no longer used by Pega, it was not registered for use with BAC. To resolve this, validations have been added for Control: NewWorkGadget, and the control has been marked as deprecated.

DSS added to control merge strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The activity page merge option takes merge strategy as input and supports different merge strategy options like 'Replace', 'Update' etc. Previously, V1 DX APIs defaulted to REPLACE as the merge strategy; this has been updated to support both 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE' merge strategies which can be controlled with the new DSS "v1MergeStrategy". The DSS to customize the merge strategy for v2 APIs is 'v2MergeStrategy', which also takes the values 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE', which are for merge strategy '1' and '3' respectively. The default strategy from Pega 8.6 forward is 'UPDATE' and any other value other than the above two values will be considered as 'UPDATE'.

Wait action persists when using Urgency Adjustment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When using the Urgency Adjustment (pyAdjustAssignmentsla standard local action), once a case reached the wait action and the goal and deadline were updated the previous pyWaitAction was not being stored. This has been resolved by ensuring the previous pyWaitAction will be stored and passed to the AddAssign activity.

Attachment errors correctly triggered for subsequent copies of the same file
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After attaching a file larger than 4MB and triggering a dirty popup error, uploading the same file again did not trigger the error. This was traced to the onChange event of the File Input Tag not being triggered when the same file is attached again, and has been resolved by adding handling for attaching the same file in error scenarios (File Max Size,File Size Zero).

Bulk Actions filter working for embedded date properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
For Embedded DateTime properties, the pyStringType was returned as "Date Time" instead of "DateTime", causing a mismatch in the filter criteria for Bulk Processing. This has been corrected.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Updated bulk action audit history logic and security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After update, using the standard bulk action feature did not record an audit history entry for the SLA action on a case. This was traced to changes made around authorization for opening worklists when using pzBulkProcessItem that limited the audit history to reassign, transfer or transfer assignment, and has been resolved by updating the login the Work-pzBulkProcessItem activity. In addition, the Require authentication to run checkbox has been enabled on the Security tab of the activity, and the Allow invocation from browser checkbox has been disabled.
