    Hi ArG,

    I see, I think this community blog post is what you're looking for then [emoticon:1435ff2429184e17bc948e4f19178e1e]. It explains how to create a custom modal dialog asking the user for text input as a client method.

Hi Nithin,

Thanks for reply.

I understand that  client can't be called from server. but usecase is to show modal dialog to capture user comment. It is not popup actually. correction in question [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

I am trying to modify javascript code present for on click of promote button, so that i can show required form based on my validation. Any idea on this ?

Thanks

    Thanks for the help. That is what i am looking for. 50% job is done.

    executing that ,once promote is done is the part which i am unable to do.

    It is not every time i need modal after promote, but only  when validation fails.

    trying to call above code in js file present for handling promote(PromoteDialog.js)

      You could add another state called validation to the lifecycle you are editing, then include a transition calling the method with the modal.

        Hi Nithin,

        Only server method are written on transition. Can't call modal on server side, is not it?

        Need to do validation as well as showing modal on client side.

        So no client event are available related to promote. Hence trying to change the client core code written to handle promote.

        Hope you are getting the use case.
