Well this is a perfect use case for ajax request. When you open the model you can do an ajax request and fetch all the categories and all the connected categories and set them in the form you have.

Dropdown List in Bootstrap Modal
I have a bootstrap modal form to create a post, I want to create a dropdown list for categories to which the post may belong to, but no clue how to get the list data back to and from the modal window. So far I have been using the "event.relatedTarget" to pass the data to input fields. But now how to pass the list?
$('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget)
var recipient = button.data('whatever')
var modal = $(this)
modal.find('.modal-title').text('New message to ' + recipient)
modal.find('.modal-body input').val(recipient)
})

@bobbybouwmann Thanks! So if i am understanding it correctly I think there could be 2 ways of handling this at-least what i can think of:
- Either make the required for data i.e. (Post and Category) available globally, as the modal window is triggered from a button in the header of the app. Or
- Make an ajax call based on the button id whenever its clicked. (Better Solution).
Right???

Yeah, solution 2 would be the best for this. This way your modal can operate on it's own ;)
