I am not able to set a closing workflow for my dialog modal.  
The screenshot shows one click on the x of the modal where I set up the workflow for closing the dialog.  
But it keeps on opening it straight after that again.  
What am I missing?

You probably have a workflow somewhere that gets triggered which opens your modal right when it closes. Have a look for it.

this may sound stupid but try removing the close in the workflow, the pre built modal I think auto closes when you click there X but I think the might use toggle so you close with your workflow then the weweb modal toggles and opens itself.

Thank you both - I cannot find any other workflow that affects the open behavior.  
Same thing happens on backdrop click.  
If I disable the close workflow - nothing happens on click.  
Really strange.

Thank you – I got it to work. I had to remove the open dialog workflow from the trigger and open the modal using its own “trigger clicks open” function. Unfortunately, I’m losing my workflow this way, but at least it closes now! 🙂
