Hey Shaun,
Thanks for the reply, and YES, it finally worked. It's always those little
typos that gotcha's!! The $'s were just taken from code relating to PHP
format; obviously, not needed.
I did find it interesting that I could also do this and skip the metadata
tag in the popup:
application.systemManager.addEventListener(CustomEvent.ON_TEST_CASE,handleUpdateFormSubmitted);
not sure if that's bad practice, but we have finally solved the popup window
to main scenario!!
