[nwosuja66]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to create a dialog box to handle cancellation reason and i created a ui page which works.

But, the ui action i have used the existing OOTB ui action script and modified it to call my ui page but it doesn't submit when i click the cancel button:

UI page script:
