Currently, when editing a record that includes a linked field (e.g. a Product linking to multiple Configurations), clicking on a linked record opens a modal as expected. However, attempting to open the right-hand info panel (e.g. for metadata like record ID, timestamps, and block counts) causes the modal to close and resets the scroll position of the underlying page.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open any record that has a Link to record field (e.g. from the “Jewelry Product” model).
- Click on a linked item (e.g. a “Configuration”) to open it in a modal.
- Hover near the right-hand edge and click the “info” panel tab.
- Observe: the modal immediately closes, and the page scrolls to the top.
Expected Behavior
The info panel should be accessible even while inside a modal. Editors should be able to:
- Open and view the info panel related to the linked record without closing the modal.
- Quickly inspect metadata like record ID, publish history, and modular block usage.
- Close the modal and continue reviewing other linked records without disruption.
Actual Behavior
- The modal closes.
- The info panel appears disconnected from its context.
- The scroll position resets, requiring manual re-navigation.
Why It Matters
This behavior is disruptive for editors working across large collections of interconnected records — particularly in ecommerce CMS setups where products frequently link to multiple configurations. Editors often need to open several linked records in sequence and reference the info panel for QA or data auditing. The current behavior adds significant friction to that workflow.
