Hi all! Has anyone used the editModal option on Object type content? I was excited to see that
fullscreenwas an option, but I'm not seeing any difference in editing experience when setting it. I have a field on my document type that is an
arrayof custom
objecttypes, and would love for the editing experience for each of the objects to go fullscreen.

I just realized there is a help channel, I apologize for dropping this in the wrong spot!

No worries, this is a great channel for questions, as well! I'm getting the same behavior as you, so I'm double checking usage with the team.

OK, I got clarity on this! The
editModalproperty is intended to only work with an object inside of the Portable Text Editor. I'm afraid it won't have any effect in an array.

I just had a coworker mention that you can put the

editModaloption on the array instead of the object to get it to work. Ex:
export default {
name: 'objectTesting',
title: 'Object Testing',
type: 'document',
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
title: 'Title',
type: 'string',
},
{
name: 'arrayDialog',
type: 'array',
options: {
editModal: 'dialog',
},
of: [
{
name: 'objectDialog',
title: 'Object Dialog',
type: 'object',
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
title: 'Title',
type: 'string',
},
],
},
]
},
{
name: 'arrayPopover',
type: 'array',
options: {
editModal: 'popover',
},
of: [
{
name: 'objectPopover',
title: 'Object Popover',
type: 'object',
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
title: 'Title',
type: 'string',
},
],
},
]
},
{
name: 'arrayFullscreen',
type: 'array',
options: {
editModal: 'fullscreen',
},
of: [
{
name: 'objectFullscreen',
title: 'Object Fullscreen',
type: 'object',
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
title: 'Title',
type: 'string',
},
],
},
]
}
],
