Displaying Dialog2 outside of iframe addon

Question

The deprecated dialog 1 modal window is able to target a defined web-panel for a Connect add on and display across the entire Jira window without issue.

In trying to implement a new Dialog2 modal and following the example laid out in the documentation, the dialog window shows within the add on iframe web panel and I am unable to figure out how to either have it shown across the entire window or target a web-panel as I did with the deprecated Dialog version.

Is there a way of doing this with the Dialog2 api?

Another solution is to use AP.dialog.create with a key that refers to modules in atlassian-connect.json.

Javascript&colon;

AP.dialog.create({
"key": 'my-custom-dialog',
    "chrome": false,
    "size"  : "large",
    "header":{
"value":"My custom dialog"
    }
});

atlassian-connect.json:

...
"webItems": [
  {
"name": {
"value": "My custom dialog"
    },
    "key": "my-custom-dialog",
    "url": "/my-custom-dialog-view",
    "location": "none",
    "context": "addon",
    "target":{
"type":"dialog"
    }
  }
]
...

But unfortunately, it does not support queryparams or any kind of custom context nor does it have an on open event...

This is only a workable solution if you intend to open your app in a dialog from a button or link.
Then every main interaction with your app should happen inside the dialog's iframe.

@Glib Briia No I ended up giving up and just going with the Dialog 1 modal since it works. *shrug*
