Dear community,
Modal popup windows are a very frequently asked UI element Appian does not provide OOTB.
The purpose of a popup is to make any UI element fade into the background and provide an isolated area to require a specific input from the user. In Appian, we cannot implement this visual style directly, but we can achieve a very similar behavior. Instead, we hide all UI elements and display a single centered card layout. This card contains all the necessary elements. When a user clicks a button, the popup is closed, and the rest of the UI becomes visible again.
Read my blog post for more details.

This is great info. Thank you. Is there a way to bold some texts in a popup dialog? I only want to bold the first word in a sentence..
As that dialog is just a normal Appian interface, bold text should not be much of a challenge.
yes, I am able to make the title of the dialog box bold but not the other text. I do not want the entire text to be bold. Only a few words in the dialog box.
I am confused. A rich text display field takes a list of rich text items. Each can be formatted individually.
ok
BN said:I need to have the "HelpType Request" in bold and not the rest of the sentence.
All you need to do is enclose them in separate Rich Text Item instances.
BTW please be sure to use the Code Box to ensure readability.
