Question Wizard import will downcase answer types to match system requirements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The Question Upload wizard would not create a File type question while using a survey template. The template has a column Answer mode in which accepts an input of the type of answer expected, but in this use case "File" was given instead of "file", resulting in the question being created using the default values. To resolve this, during the import process when the system parses the file and gets the contents from the data using the pzSetdefaultValuesforQuestions DT, mode values will be explicitly set to lowercase.

Custom question parameters visible in survey
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When opening an individual question in the custom question section of a survey, the parameters passed were visible in the Answer tab but not when clicking on the getParams link in the right-side panel. This has been resolved by updating the pzSetRuleAndPropValuesForQuestion activity to copy section params from the question rule and call GetSectionParamsToPrompt to get latest parameters data.

This has been resolved by updating "pzpega_control_attachutil" to use the activity "GetAttachmentReference" for interactions with the attachments from any storage type.

SurveyPage loads when ruleset is locked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When the ruleset containing the survey rules was locked D_pzSurveyPage did not load and errors were generated. Investigation showed that if the flow was in a locked version, the PopulateShapeNodesFromFlowData activity did not call EvaluateConnectorState, causing the mapping of the transitions for connectors to fail in the activity MapBranchShapeConnectors. This has been resolved.
