i'm currently working on a custom field/widget.
For a better ux i want to display some nested elements in a modal dialog. The elements are generated during form submission (multistep widget) i added a custom ajax callback like this: (For better understanding i reduced the code)
public static function myAjaxCallback(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
$response = new AjaxResponse();
$form['#attached']['library'][] = 'core/drupal.dialog.ajax';
$response->setAttachments($form['#attached']);
$button = $form_state->getTriggeringElement();
$element = NestedArray::getValue($form, array_slice($button['#array_parents'], 0, -3));
$response->addCommand(
new OpenModalDialogCommand('Only a few sub elements', $element, [])
);
return $response;
}
The problem in this function is the elements are, obviously, rendered without a form around and so they can't get submitted.
Which would be the correct way to display only some nested elements in an ajax dialog?
Best regards Michael
