    Hi [mention:bb176b67c26c4e89b2173f39160c9f46:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

    You have to map the interface as Related action in a record and then use a!recordActionField() to display it as pop up.

    Hello shubhamy3376,

    Create a process model with a user input task in which you will have your interface (Text box). Use this process model in a record's related action/record action. Call this record action/ related action in the UIT where you wanted to have the button click and pop up.

    I usually like to point out that there is a difference between "requirement" and "design", and the sort of thing you've described here is actually "design". 

    That is to say, a different design (one more directly and inherently supported by standard Appian forms without difficult or painful workarounds) would still satisfy the same requirement, which would be to allow a user to enter and then submit some text on an interface.
