Question

I have a controller where I return data in a partial view and I would like to call a modal, how can it be done?

I leave you the details of my controller and view below .

Controller

 [HttpPost]
 public async Task<ActionResult> Items(List<string> items)

  {
             
   var dto = new ItemsDetails();
   dto.item = items;

  return PartialView($"~/Views/Items/ItemDetails.cshtml", dto);
