Why modal keeps variable saved when new open new modal

Hi,
I fetch some data from database and show into a datatable, when I click on edit I open a modal window where I?ve got a form to edit the data. I get the data id and save it into a variable int this way

var km_building_unit_id = this.id;

The problem is when I close the modal and open a new one for a different data it does edit the current data and the previous as well unless I refresh the whole page before.

this is my code sorry is quite long, many thanks for your help

    var kmg_admin_edit_building_unit = function() {

        // Store table id into a variable
        var table = $('#kmg_admin_building_units_list');
        var form = $('#kmg_admin_edit_building_unit_form');
        var error = $('.alert-danger', form);
        var success = $('.alert-success', form);
        var warning = $('.alert-warning', form);

        // If user close modal then it shouldn't show previous messages when modal opened again
        $('#kmg_admin_edit_building_unit_modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
            // Remove all alert message and highlights
            $('.alert_custom').removeClass('alert-danger');
            $('.alert_custom').removeClass('alert-success');
            $('.alert_custom').removeClass('alert-warning');
            $('.has-error').removeClass('has-error');
            $('.alert_custom').removeAttr('style');
            // Remove jquery form validation from previous modal
            form.validate().resetForm();
            // Reset every field of the previous form so i can populate them with new values
            form.trigger("reset");
            // Reset also selectpicker input from previous modal
            $("#kmg_admin_edit_building_comune").val('default').selectpicker("refresh");
            // Hide form when close modal so I can show loader animation
            form.hide(); 

       
            
        });

        // Handle click on button edit bank account
        table.on('click', '.kmg_admin_edit_building_unit', function(e) {

            // Get building unit ID associated to the edit button

            var km_building_unit_id = this.id;

            // Show edit group bank account modal
            $("#kmg_admin_edit_building_unit_modal").modal("show");

Hi @vincekaribusana, that variable will get declared anew each time you click the table; however your DOM modifications inside the modal won’t automagically get reset when you hide it. But you might restore the initial markup before showing the modal like so:

var $modal = $('#my-modal')
var modalMarkup = $modal.html()

// Later, when showing the modal:
$modal.html(modalMarkup).modal('show')

(I’d suggest to show the modal after you populated the fields though, not before.)

Hi @m3g4p0p thanks for your help. I’ve also managed it with attaching the id into a hidden s field :wink:
