Understanding Property Rules in Pega

This document provides information about standard properties in Pega software, including: - Standard properties start with px, py, or pz prefixes and cannot be renamed. - The px prefix identifies special properties that cannot be set via HTML, while py allows user input. pz supports internal processing. - Property types can generally only be narrowed when updated. This does not convert values. - Updating certain property fields like mode or type requires rules to be revalidated or refreshed. - Password properties do not echo on forms but may be clear text or encrypted depending on how values are set. TextEncrypted should be used to store encrypted values. - Properties referenced in rules should not be deleted without checking.
