My original post is closed so here you have a new one:
I updated my OK/Cancel helper subflow. Perhaps it could be useful for others. It now handle the socketid of the desired dashboard and work with OK/cancel with input too
It is important that you pass the socketid with your message msg.socketid to avoid the dialog poping up on all open dashboards. If you like to have it open on all screens delete msg.socketid before. BTW you can use the OK/Cancel subfow now for imputs too. Due to the nature of the message node you then have to enter the cancel condition instead of the OK condition because the payload contains then either the entered value or (in most cases) "cancel" ("Abbruch" if you work on a German UI). I left the OK condition in for compatibility reasons.
Hope this helps.
