        </button>
        <modal name="insert_form_example_modal">
            <settings>
                <options>
                    <option name="title" xsi:type="string">Insert Form Example Modal</option>

                    </renderUrl>
                    <loading>false</loading>
                    <toolbarContainer>${ $.parentName }</toolbarContainer>

                </settings>
            </insertForm>
        </modal>
    </fieldset>
</form>
