I'm using Bootstrap 4.0.0-beta on Chrome 60.0.3112.113 and Windows 10.

I'm a bit confused by this: What would be the use case where you would open a modal from itself? Are you expecting the DOM to clone the modal and create another instance? Bootstrap has long had a rule against multiple modals, so I am not sure if this is really an issue.

I don't see the use case here either.

@bjornstenfeldt: can you elaborate?

I don't want to open 2 modals. But I "extended" the modal so I could open it with a hash change event. I did that because I think it is more user-friendly on mobile devices, when you can close a modal by clicking back. At the same time I needed it to open in a callback from a LinkedIn API call, so I ended up having 2 completely separated .modal('open') calls.

OK, sounds like a fair use case. We have #24240 open, it lacks a unit test though.
