Modal behavior in embedded page

If I embed a block on my website, modal windows opened from that block do not work properly. They pop up in the middle of the embedded block – rather than in the middle of the viewscreen – and scrolling is next to impossible.

Is this a known bug with an estimated time to solve it? Or do I need to open things in new tabs instead? (A less desirable UX than a properly behaving modal.)

Modal behavior has been an afterthought for Softr. Their functionality seems to be limited to details blocks only. For instance:

  • submitting a form from one does not update the parent page
  • no back button when a modal is opened from a modal

Modals would be a great feature, if they followed through with them.

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know.
