Passing model to 'modal/edit' view ?

[tothewine]

I have already the model for an entity that I am about to show the edit modal for, but when I pass the model, id and scope in the options it would still make a new api request for the entity data, causing a noticeable delay in render time since mouse click.

How do I correctly pass the model to the modal edit view? Is there a way to cache or cancel the sync, like a 'before:sync' event and return the existing model?

var id='123'; var scope='Lead'; var viewName = 'views/modals/edit';
var model = {/* model is already got from server */};

this.createView('quickEdit', viewName, {id: id, scope:scope, model: model, mode: 'edit', fullFormDisabled: true}, function (view) {  
 // api has been called twice...
}
