Revalidate and Save corrupts apostrophe/quote marks Field Values

SA-11007

Summary



In Field Values, non alphanumeric characters (for example, double quotes (")) get encoded when the rule is saved. They are subsequently displayed in their encoded form (for example, double quote (") is displayed as '&38;')

This did not happen prior to Pega 7.1.7. Up to Pega 7.1.6 the quotation marks were saved and subsequently displayed in their unencoded form.


Error Messages



Not Applicable

Steps to Reproduce



1. Create a new Field Value.
2. Enter the localized text containing quotes and / or other special characters. (For example: This is a "Quote" Test).
3. Save and refresh the rule. The characters have been encoded. (For example: This is a &38;Quote&38; Test).


Root Cause



The root cause of this problem is a defect in Pegasystems’ code/rules which resulted in a double encoding when performing validation upon saving of a Field Value.

Resolution



This issue is resolved by HFix-22332 which prevents the double encoding of new Field Values or existing ones open and saved within Pega 7.1.7 for the first time.

After installing the HFix-22332, if the Field Values already contain encoded values then manually replace them with quotes and resave the Field Values.
