Hi @Mishu,

Is there a particular reason why centering the Modal doesn't work? Are you trying to provide visibility to fields on screen for example? There's a reason why it's centered from a UX perspective to cater for different screen/browser sizes etc.

Sadly the Developer API notes don't cover any parameters for this, however, if the GlideModal is displayed on a portal as shown in your screen shot, CSS is always an option as show by an example below:

/* Adjusting position of the GlideModal */
.glide_modal {
    position: absolute !important;
    top: 50px !important;   /* Set your desired top position */
    left: 100px !important;  /* Set your desired left position */
    right: auto !important;
    bottom: auto !important;
}

GlideDialog API: (https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/xanadu-api-reference/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/...

An alternative option I've seen online but please note this is not tested by me is to try the below via javascript. However, again I'd prefer to understand why centering doesn't work initially as various screen sizes are often a forgotten perspective.

var modal = new GlideModal('modal_dialog');
modal.setTitle('Custom Modal Title');
modal.render();

// Wait for the modal to be rendered, then adjust its position
modal.on('render', function() {
    var modalElement = document.querySelector('.glide_modal');
    if (modalElement) {
        modalElement.style.position = 'absolute';
        modalElement.style.top = '100px';   // Change top position
        modalElement.style.left = '50px';   // Change left position
    }
});
