How to get feedback from Modal Flows
We have the requirement to open a flow in a popup from a navigation rule.
Depending whether the user choose cancel or click on submit, the next actions event in the navigation rule needs to be skipped or executed.
In the Navigation rule there is the call order:
1. Open Modal Flow
2. (When submit in modal flow: open assignment)
When the modal flow got canceled the next step (open assignment) should be skipped.
My question. Is there a way to get the feedback from the modal flow (sub thread) which button has been clicked?
I can imagine working with a clipboard page (e.g. editable Data Page with scope requestor) could be a workaround, but I'm searching for a better way to get the feedback from a modal popup.
Can you please share your thoughts about this or if there is a better way to get the feedback from a modal popup?
Thanks!

Ok, I got it.
From Pega Help about Action Menu:
When the user submits the modal flow's final assignment, the flow's page merges into the parent flow primary page.
So, I can us a property for the page to identify the current status.
But I have now another problem.
The second event action (open assignment) has to open a assignment. The key will be provided in the Primary page of the modal flow after the flow got submitted.
Please see the screenshot I have provided.
The problem is: The property on the page used for the modal flow is empty when the "open assignment" action gets executed. But if I check the clipboard, the property contains the right assignment key.
So, why the property on the page is empty during the open assignment action execution which I suppose should be executed only after the modal flow get submitted or canceled?
