clr-wizard--inline has been removed but it is necessary for vSphere Plugin development

[vpatelpstg]

I have been using "clr-wizard--inline" property with "clr-wizard" in version 13. I need to upgrade our angular and Clarity to the latest versions, but I can see that the property has been removed from version 15 onwards by changes in this commit.

I use Clarity to develop a vSphere Plugin so that the plugin GUI matches the overall GUI of vSphere. One common use case in a vSphere plugin is displaying contents in a modal that is presented by the host vSphere GUI. The plugin is allowed to display contents inside an iFrame inside the body of this modal. If a plugin developer wants to show a wizard inside this kind of view, an inline wizard is the only option. Otherwise the user sees a modal inside a modal, and it simply does not work correctly.

This is how the wizard looks with the "clr-wizard--inline" property in Clarity 13.

And this is after the update to Clarity 16.

Does Clarity 15 have some other mechanism to properly display a wizard inside a vSphere Plugin Modal? If not, can the clr-wizard--inline feature please be re-implemented? We are happy to do the work and submit a PR.

@kevinbuhmann was this also ported to v17.x? We just tried upgrading form 16 to 17 and our wizards broke again. Would you like me to log a bug?

[kevinbuhmann]

Sorry about that, I think we were working on v17 on a beta branch at the time and I didn't port this over. I'll take care of that.
