- Around line 1188-1194: Update the triage handling for the “owner” selector in
the dialog configuration so submitting without a new assignee preserves the
existing owner rather than clearing it. Ensure the users DataSource selector’s
Default uses the Mattermost user ID, including when the triage value is
unchanged.

- Around line 301-310: Update the timeline_note_ callback handling around
noteMessage so user-supplied note text is escaped for Mattermost Markdown and
mention markers are neutralized before it is passed to fmt.Sprintf and assigned
to Message. Keep the existing note formatting and other fields unchanged.

While I'm always pumped to see new features for dialogs, this one seems over-complicated from a UX perspective.
I't not clear what the actions in the dialog do. This might be more of an UX issue with this particular use case, not the overall design.
The visual UX of the overlaying dialogs looks also quite messy. I wonder if we instead re-use the same dialog and add a back button to the previous one.
I also wonder where the need for this feature comes from. MM Blocks already adds support for triggering dialogs. Should we use MM Blocks and trigger the second layer of dialogs directly?

@hanzei - Here the request from Midnight 2. It's probably not a great demo...but only designed to show we go up to 3 levels deep for showing dialogs. I would ignore the use case, but I can make it better if desired.
I don't think that will work for a couple reasone. 1 they want to reuse the dialog for multiple scenarios, and also a back button implies a wizard type use case. They want to display more information and then close. Regarding MM_Blocks. They have too much invested in the current dialog infrastructure to move everything to the blocks infrastructure. Support for MMBlocks in interactive dialogs is in flight, but not yet releases. This feature is in the v10.10 release. This is only a demonstration of the feature. Let me know, I can come with a better "demo". Let me know if you have suggestions. Thanks. |
Summary
Add /dialog action-buttons sample: nested dialogs via action buttons
Adds a demo of the action_button dialog element type, showing that an action button can open another dialog from inside an already-open dialog — a three-level chain (board → triage → timeline note).
An⚠️ Escalate (fails) button posts to /dialog/incident/fail, which always returns 500 so the action button's error state can be exercised without opening a child dialog.
