Hi team,

In my Vision project, when one popup is already open, clicking to open another popup still allows it to open. I want to prevent multiple popups from being open at the same time.

Please guide me in fixing this issue

It isn't an "issue", it is intended to be possible. Many user interfaces benefit from allowing multiple popups.

If you must, you will need to use `system.gui.getWindows()` in your popup script to see what is already open, and abort if there is an existing popup in the list.
