Knockout Modal Fails on Static Storage because of URL Rewrite?

[TravisLRiffle]

I didn't see many examples of how to edit items so I attempted to do an edit with a knockout modal in my custom widget. This worked great locally; however, behind the scenes the modal is doing SOMETHING that causes a hash to appear in the URL. This is a problem when following your static website instructions because the URL rewrite fails and the modal doesn't launch. From what I've read, you can't have URL rewrites in a storage account. This leaves me with the following questions.

• What's the recommended way to edit items in your proposed solution. Modals in knockout aren't an option.
• If modals are an option, do you know of a way to get past the URL rewrite issue?
• Should you consider having instructions to deploy to an app service as opposed to a static site so that URL rewrites can happen?
• I'm just looking for a recommended way to solve this problem given the paperbits, knockout, JAM stack approach with a storage account, I'm not sure of the what the recommended solution to this issue would be.

Hi Travis, sorry, but I'll need to clarify a few things:

• Can you please give more details about "examples of how to edit items". What items you're talking about?
• What do you call Knockout Modals?
• When you say "URL rewrite", you're talking about just changing hash or webserver-level rewrite?

It would also help to understand the whole scenario you're trying to implement. Can you please describe it in more details?

Sorry if my message didn't make sense. I wrote it in haste! If you have a list of items and let's say you want an edit screen, how would you go about doing that? With another screen? With a modal?

When I say knockout modals, I meant bootstrap so I apologize.

Yes I'm talking about the changing of the hash seems to be breaking the bootstrap modal.

Hi Travis, Sorry, but I still don't fully understand the question. Since you're asking about modals, I assume you're not talking about design experience, - you are trying to implement some kind of list-like widget that would work in runtime (published portal) and invoke a dialog for editing items of that list. Am I right?

Hi @TravisLRiffle, could you please answer the question above?

[TravisLRiffle]

That is correct. Or if not, be given an example of how you'd recommend editing an item in a list in this regard. I do not see an example and the bootstrap dialog does not work with the framework, etc.

@TravisLRiffle can you please clarify your question and give a specific example? It would be great if you could share screenshots or a video.
