How can we help you?

Hello!

I have a table action that renders my view:

Action::make('update-record')
            ->modalContent(
                fn(Record $record): View => view(
                    'filament.pages.actions.update',
                    ['record' => $record],
                )
            )
             ->slideOver()
            ->modalSubmitAction(false)
            ->extraModalFooterActions([
                Action::make('save')
                    ->label('Save Project')
                    ->icon('heroicon-o-plus-circle')
                    ->action(function (Record $record) {
                        $this->dispatch('save-record');
                    }),
            ]);

The model is populated with a view that does some stuff including a form. This form is saved when save-record is dispatched. This all works nicely.

I cannot trigger the close here as its possible the validation on the form may fail. What I want to do is dispatch the close-modal event upon successful record updating in my form.

My issue: I cannot figure out how to find or assign an ID to my table action in order to dispatch this event.

All advice welcomed!

Why not a modal form?

In this case there there are 2 reason I chose not to use modal forms:

1. This form has a good amount of reasonably complex relationships and I find modal forms data more difficulty (or at least more manual) to to use than form states for non trivial forms. That said, if there is something I am missing regarding using modal forms please let me know as they would give me the flow I need out of the box.
2. Slightly less important - this form is also used as a standalone form elsewhere in the app, popping that livewire component in this modal allows me to reuse it as.
