Thanks for that Joe..
Well, the only obvious alternatives to a modal view that I can think of
at short notice would be:
* change to the edit/add/list page
* in-place editing and adding (add could create an empty placeholder
for a new version/milestone)
* list view could work more like a dropdown list
I can't comment on whether any of those ideas are better of course..
just throwing stuff in to see if it is of any use!
Cheers,
Gary
