Hi All,

I am looking to launch a Modal Dialog automatically upon loading a screen (an assignment within a screen flow to be more specific). I have tried a couple of different options:

1. Using a js function with a timeout:

pega.u.d.displaySection('{SectionName}', '{StepPage}',null,false);

This works up to a point, after the section loads in a modal dialog the submit button does not work, the submit button is configured with the control pzModalButton and the submit action, strangely enough if I try changing the boolean parameter to true in the function (which is used to hide OOB buttons) the Submit button with the pzModalButton works, but now I have unwanted additional buttons, I tried to look where these are generated but live ui does not work on them.

2. Using the JS API launchLocalAction

var Event = pega.util.Event;

var options = {
flowAction: "{FAName}",
displayMode: "pega.api.ui.constants.MODAL_DIALOG",
event: "onclick",
flowActionClass: "{FAClass}" ,
contextPage: "{StepPage}",
skinFormat: "",
template: "",
isMobileFullScreen: true,
revealEffectName: "",
closingEffectName: "",
closeOnClickAway: true,
centerOverlay: true,
nodename: ""
};

pega.api.ui.actions.launchLocalAction(options);

But this generates an error in the console

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'preventDefault' of undefined

The error changes if I change the value of the event parameter, maybe that is what I'm missing, considering that I want to load it automatically, not sure what value to pass.

Can anyone please provide input on how to achieve this requirement? Any input is greatly appreciated
