 <td>

            modal.hide()
            e.detail.shouldSwap = false
        }

    htmx.on("hidden.bs.modal", () => {
        document.getElementById("dialog").innerHTML = ""
    })

This could be an issue with the django side of the implementation, if the request the edit button fires ends up in a 500 error or doesn't return any content then the modal will never open.
