dialog.url.submit() does not close Teams dialog #81
Description
Activity
👋 Hi @Ashlesha-MSFT,
Thank you for reporting this issue. Here is an AI-generated initial response:
Classification: Not a bug — the shown call omits the app ID required when submitting a result; the parent must also supply a submit handler when opening the dialog.
- Teams’ dialog guidance says to pass the opening app’s manifest ID as the second argument when returning an object.
submit()takes the result directly, so{ result: { name: "test" } }adds an unnecessary wrapper. dialog.url.submit()returnsvoid; awaiting it does not confirm that Teams closed the dialog.
What to do now:
- In the parent tab, initialize TeamsJS, then call
dialog.url.open(urlDialogInfo, ({ err, result }) => { /* handle result */ }). - In the dialog page, initialize TeamsJS, then call
dialog.url.submit({ name: "test" }, manifestAppId). Confirm the URL is in the manifest’svalidDomains. - If it still stays open, provide the exact TeamsJS 2.x version, parent opening code, manifest settings, and a minimal reproduction.

dialog.urlAPI - OfficeDev/microsoft-teams-library-js#1503 — dialog.submit not working, keeps the dialog window opened — similar symptom, but its call was outside the dialog.

I’m using the Microsoft Teams JS SDK to open a dialog and submit data back to the parent tab.
Inside the dialog I have:
The submit() call completes without throwing an exception, but the dialog remains open and the parent tab does not receive the expected result.
What is the correct way to submit a result from a Teams dialog using the current Teams JS SDK? Does the parent need to register a callback before opening the dialog, or is there another required configuration?
SDK version: @microsoft/teams-js 2.x
