#Edit Modal

#Introduction

Any action or field that opens a modal when clicked supports configuring the modal's open mode, size, etc.

#Open Mode

• Drawer

• Dialog

• Sub-page

#Modal Size

• Large
• Medium (default)
• Small

#Popup UID

“Popup UID” is the UID of the component that opens the popup; it also appears in the URL as the viewUID of view/:viewUid. You can obtain it from the triggering field or button via the settings menu action “Copy popup UID”. Setting the popup uid enables popup reuse.

#Internal popup (default)

• "Popup uid" equals the current action button's UID (by default it uses this button's UID).

#External popup (reuse an existing popup)

• Enter another button's UID (the popup UID) in "Popup UID" to reuse that popup elsewhere.
• Typical use: share the same popup UI and logic across pages/blocks without duplicating configuration.
• When using an external popup, some options become read-only (see below).

#Other related options

• Data source / Collection: Read-only. Indicates the data source and collection the popup is bound to; by default it follows the current block’s collection. In external popup mode, it follows the target popup’s configuration and cannot be changed.
• Association name: Optional. Open the popup from an association field; shown only when a default value exists. In external popup mode, it follows the target popup’s configuration and cannot be changed.
• Source ID: Shown only when Association name is set; defaults to the current context’s sourceId; may be a variable or fixed value.
• filterByTk: Can be empty, a variable, or a fixed value to constrain which record(s) the popup loads.
