I got issue whem I use system.perspective.openPopup and set position={“height”:“auto”}, the popup can be more higher than the view port and the viewportBound is not respected.

You’re correct. I’ve opened an internal ticket to address this. For a workaround in the meantime, if you want to open a Popup where it is viewport bound AND you want it to open as tall as it needs to be, then just do not specify the height (or width, if using a wide view); not specifying the height results in the correct “auto” usage.
