Close Form Popup And Continue Execution

Audience: Low-code Engineers

Skill Prerequisites: Actions, Forms

Closes the popup of a Form module on the current page, then carries on with the next actions. It's available in forms and listings.

It closes a popup opened by Open Form Popup And Stop Execution, Open Form Popup And Continue Execution, or by a Form whose Display Mode is In Popup. It can run from the form inside the popup, or from anywhere else on the page.

Action	What happens after the popup closes
Close Form Popup And Stop Execution	No further actions run.
Close Form Popup And Continue Execution	The popup closes right away and the next actions keep running.

Typical Use Cases

• Close the popup, then refresh the listing behind it with Refresh Listing
• Close the popup as soon as the user submits, and save the data while they carry on
• Close the popup, then show a toast such as Order saved

Don't use it to

• End the actions after the popup closes. Use Close Form Popup And Stop Execution instead.
• Close a Tabs popup. Use Close Tabs Popup And Continue Execution instead.
• Send values back to the page behind the popup. The action only closes the popup.

Input Parameter Reference

Parameter	Description	Supports Tokens	Default	Required
Select Module	The Form module whose popup to close. It can be the form that runs the action. The list shows the Form modules on the site, as Title (#ModuleId). Click EXPR to enter a module ID, such as 1234, or a token that holds one. The module's unique ID (a GUID) also works. The action fails if it's empty or doesn't match a module.	Yes	empty string	Yes

When the popup closes

The instruction to close is sent to the browser as soon as the action runs, and the browser closes the popup right away. Meanwhile, the server keeps running the remaining actions. So the popup is already gone while the rest of the actions are still working.

What happens when the popup closes

• Only the popup closes. The page behind it isn't refreshed or redirected, and no values are passed back. Add Refresh Listing or another action after this one to update the page.
• The form isn't reset. If the popup is opened again without Reinitialize Form, the user sees the form as it was. Turn on Reinitialize Form in the open action to start with a fresh form.
• Nothing happens if the popup isn't open, or if the Form isn't on the page.

In Listings

Listings also have Close Form Popup, a client-side version of this action. It's only available on buttons with Client Button turned on. It runs in the browser as soon as the button is clicked, without a request to the server.

It has the same Select Module parameter. There's no Stop or Continue. A client button only runs client-side actions, one after another.

Considerations

• Errors after the popup closes. If a later action fails, for example a validation or save error, the popup is already closed. The user may not see the error in the form. Close the popup after the actions that can fail, or use Close Form Popup And Stop Execution as the last action.
• Not in APIs, workflows or User Guides. The action runs JavaScript in the browser, so it's only available in forms and listings.
• Conditions. To close the popup only in some cases, give it a condition, for example "[Saved]" == "True". See Common Parameters.

Examples

tip

To understand how to use the below examples, please see Running Examples.

1. Close the popup and refresh the listing

Put this action on the submit button of the popup Form module 1234, after the actions that save the data. It closes the popup. A Refresh Listing action after it then reloads the listing on the page, so the change shows up.

{
    "Title": "Close Form Popup And Continue Execution",
    "ActionType": "CloseAFPopupAndContinue",
    "Description": "Close the editor before refreshing the listing",
    "Parameters": {
        "ModuleId": "1234"
    }
}

2. Close a popup chosen by a token

This action closes the popup of the Form module whose ID is in the EditorFormId token, but only when Saved is True. The next actions still run.

{
    "Title": "Close Form Popup And Continue Execution",
    "ActionType": "CloseAFPopupAndContinue",
    "Description": "Close the editor once saved",
    "Condition": "\"[Saved]\" == \"True\"",
    "Parameters": {
        "ModuleId": "[EditorFormId]"
    }
}
