ModalService – How to re-use custom controller (assign data when showModal())?

[ux-engineer]

I would like to re-use a custom controller and modal template. But ModalService's showModal method assigns secondary object (customModalOptions) only when custom controller isn't defined. So when using custom controller you cannot assign data to that controller when triggering the modal?

You'd have to modify the code in that case to handle customizations that are needed. It supports several customizations but certainly not everything.
