Wix Studio:

I’m creating a scrollable modal, but I want to prevent the background from scrolling when the modal is open. How can I disable background scrolling while allowing the modal itself to remain scrollable? Any code examples or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Lukas, have you ever found a solution to your issue?  
I am facing the same while trying to use a lightbox as a modal.
