…0544) Issue number: resolves #30389 --------- <!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an issue. --> <!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature, etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. --> ## What is the current behavior? <!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. --> Currently, when the element an ion-modal was presented from is removed, the modal stays presented and can be broken depending on the framework. This is unlike #30540, where children of open modals were being kept open. In this case, specifically the DOM element is being removed for whatever reason and the modal is staying open. ## What is the new behavior? <!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by this PR. --> We're now identifying our parent component on load and watching it with a mutation observer to determine if it gets removed from the DOM. If it does, we trigger a dismiss. This, conveniently, works nicely with #30540 and will dismiss all children and grandchildren as well. ## Does this introduce a breaking change? - [ ] Yes - [X] No <!-- If this introduces a breaking change: 1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications below. 2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change. 3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging. See https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#footer for more information. --> ## Other information <!-- Any other information that is important to this PR such as screenshots of how the component looks before and after the change. --> The issue this resolves was already marked closed, but on closer inspection I determined that was a mistake. I believed this issue was related to another one I was dealing with and it is, but it wasn't quite the same. After this issue is merged, I believe we will have handled all avenues of possibly ending up with broken modals because of parent elements or modals being removed.

Issue number: resolves internal
What is the current behavior?
Currently, when a child modal is present and a parent modal is somehow dismissed, the child modal stays open. This can cause issues in some frameworks like React and Angular, where this cuts the connection to the child modal and it can no longer be dismissed programmatically.
What is the new behavior?
This change enables modals to identify their children and close the children when they're closed. This prevents orphaned modals that can cause a poor UX. Note: This fix is only for inline modals, which is the biggest cause of the above issue.
Does this introduce a breaking change?
