How does the CMS work together with Modals?

Does anyone here have experience with this?

I’d like to display certain data from my CMS Collection inside a **Modal**.

The data within the Collection itself is displayed correctly. However, when I click the corresponding trigger to open the Modal, the data is not shown as expected.

Do I need to define a specific trigger ID in the Markdown file, or what’s the best way to handle this?

Has anyone here already worked with this setup?
