Modal
Modal widget renders in front of a backdrop, and it blocks interaction with the rest of the application until the modal is closed. It can be used to add dialog boxes to your app for lightboxes, user notifications, forms, etc.
In order to avoid excessively complex situations, certain components, namely Calendar and Kanban, are restricted from being placed within the Modal component using drag-and-drop functionality.
If the builder attempts to add any of the aforementioned components inside the Modal, an error message will be displayed:
<Restricted component> cannot be used as a child component within the Modal.
