Bug description:

I uiboostrap for bs 3 if you created a modal and didn't pass it a new controller, it would use the controller for the page you were on. I believe you could also pass in the controller and controllerAs for the current controller, into your modal, and it would use the current object.

This version always creates a new controller object. There is no way to pass in anything remotely useful for the johnpapa standard of using vm=this;

I have tested in all way shapes and forms, and short of passing in a service to hold the data to be edited, there is no real way to connect the current page data.

I found this to be true because modalInstance was null whenever the break point was hit to close the modal. Because using the current pages controller, instantiated a new copy of the controller.

Is there a way to get your current page viewmodel/controller into the modal?

Thanks

Interesting. Nothing really should have changed in this project to break it like that. And I can tell you that when I was last using this project, that functionality worked, because I was using my own controllers for modals.

I tracked down some of my old code, and this was working:

`import VerificationModalController from './verification';`

// ... bunch of unrelated code ...

_launchModal()
{
    return this.$modal.open({
            template: require('./verification.html'),
            size: 'lg',
            keyboard: false,
            backdrop: 'static',
            windowClass: 'modal-full',
            controller: VerificationModalController,
            controllerAs: '$ctrl'
        })
        .result
        .finally(function()
        {
            stateSvc.changeMode('normal');
        });
}

// ... more unrelated code ...

If directly importing your controller (or, as a test, just writing a dummy one as a function inline) doesn't work, then there's definitely a bug and it needs to be tracked down. (If you can find the change in this repo that broke it and put in a PR, I'll be glad to merge it and make a release.)
