I’m glad And as a personal thought, this wouldn’t worked if Alert was modal like someone else asked. > [@Why doesn't the alert dialog pause a for Each loop?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/why-doesnt-the-alert-dialog-pause-a-for-each-loop/1985676): > > I have an Alert inside a “for each item in list” loop. It appears that the Alert is not Modal. ie: I need the App to wait for the User to press “confirm” or “cancel” first and then the App should act according to the “wasConfirmed” flag, and if true to continue in the loop, which may later throw up the same Alert again in the same loop. However the loop just keeps looping and does not wait for the User to respond to the Alert dialog and press a button first. Am I doing something wrong or is t… It would force you to have some imput before continue. So, one more reason to be as it is, as any situation can be solved this way. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-can-i-cancel-an-alert-alternative-alert-modals/1990784)._
