Best way to show a module in a dialog?

Hi there!

I’ve successfully created a dialog the following javascript:

AP.dialog.create({
   key: 'ticket-form',
   size: "fullscreen",
   chrome: false,
   customData: {
       issueKey: issueKey
   }
});

It shows the module with the key ‘ticket-form’ nicely in a dialog. The problem is that I seem to be forced to add the module to another location in JIRA, or else I won’t be able to show it in the dialog. So I’ve put it away in the admin_plugins_menu in the atlassian-connect.json:

    "modules": {
        "generalPages" : [{
            "key": "ticket-form",
            "url": "/tickettrack/form",
            "location": "admin_plugins_menu/ivs-menu-section",
            "name": {
                "value": "Ticket form"
            }
        }],
        "webPanels": [
            {
                "location": "atl.jira.view.issue.right.context",
                "url": "/tickettrack/view",
                "key": "whos-looking-issue-panel",
                "name": {
                    "value": "Inventive Ticket"
                },
                "conditions": [
                    {
                        "condition": "has_issue_permission",
                        "params": {
                            "permission": "RESOLVE_ISSUE"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ],
        "webSections": [
            {
                "key": "ivs-menu-section",
                "location": "admin_plugins_menu",
                "name": {
                    "value": "Inventive Business Software"
                }
            }
        ],
        "webItems": [
            {
                "key": "configure",
                "location": "admin_plugins_menu/ivs-menu-section",
                "url": "/configure",
                "name": {
                    "value": "Settings"
                }
            }
        ]
    }

But there must be a better way, right?

Hi Jeroen,

I do it this way:

    "webItems" : [{
        "name": {
            "value": "Report Problem"
        },
        "key": "bitbucket",
        "url": "/bitbucket?v=3",
        "location": "none",
        "context": "addon",
        "target": {
            "type": "dialog"
        }
    }]

I overlooked that in the docs.
