How to call a portal page in the backend

[vidhya_mouli]

I have a UI button with the following code in the client_script_v2

function onClick(g_form) {
    g_modal.showFrame({
        title: 'Select users to send the survey',
        url: '/nothemeportal?id=bulk_send_onboarding_survey&workspace=true&sys_id=' + g_form.getValue('request_item'),
        size: 'xl',
        height: 500,
        hasLoadingMessage: true,
        autoCloseOn: 'URL_CHANGED'
    });
}

Right now in the script i am calling a UI page which does exactly the same things the widget does in the portal page

function sendSurvey() {


    var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow('customer_onboarding_send_survey'); //Ui Page

    dialog.setTitle('Select Options');
    dialog.setWidth(400);
    dialog.setPreference('sysparm_reqItemSysID', g_form.getValue('request_item'));
    dialog.render();

}

I want to avoid the duplication and call the portal page in the backend too (not in the workspace but directly in the table - form). How can I do this?

@vidhya_mouli ,

You can’t reliably call a portal page/widget from the backend UI because portal widgets run in a different engine (Angular/ServicePortal).......the platform UI dialog APIs (like GlideDialogWindow / GlideModal ) won’t reliably embed a portal widget so that it can interact with the form.......
